None of them: If this question is driven by a desire to avoid or treat male pattern baldness, you are also badly misinformed about the nature of the process.

Unrelated: There is no direct relationship or association I am aware of between seborrhea (what you have) and B12 deficiecy. You are very young for being so B12 deficient.

No.: No, vitamin e has no effect on ringworm. But first, make sure that it really is ringworm; many circular rashes are assumed to be ringworm by inexperienced caregivers. If it really is ringworm, you will need a prescription medicine.
