First off, you need the results of your B12 and vit D...if you haven't had them tested, it is a good idea to do so.
Doctors still follow old lab ranges, for B12, so make sure you have
at least 400pg/ml. The vit D is best taken OTC for D3 and not the RX form doctors give which is D2. But you do need your doctor to test you... just bring your results here instead of listening to potential poor interpretations.

Make sure you are taking a good multivitamin like Centrum Silver.
Skin conditions do respond to zinc and Vit A. Make sure your vitamin has both.

Fish oil does best with some magnesium too. A good supplement for that if you don't eat nuts or beans, is SlowMag.
One of those twice a day will help with the fish oil metabolism.

B12 (methylcobalamin form), Vit D3 and magnesium are the Big Three, supplements to start with.
