Obligatory "this is not medical advice", the human body is a wonderful, horrible mess of incomprehensible, interrelated systems, etc. etc.
For sebderm check out r/sebderm. From what I understand sebderm is also a fungal overgrowth, albeit a different species. (The apparent overlap between sebderm and candidiasis would point to an immune deficiency, which suggests mineral deficiency. (Which suggests digestive issues or food sensitivities, the way celiac damages the gut and severely reduces mineral uptake, issues digesting dairy can also result from undiagnosed celiac...) Have you had blood work done?
Digestive issues may also point to a Thiamine (B1) deficiency. There's some interesting work with thiamine megadoses. (I know megadoses trigger the pseudoscience alert bells, but there's real science behind this.) Something about how the mechanisms responsible for Thiamine uptake can stop working when you have a deficiency, which causes the deficiency to persist even if you return to eating normal levels. This can then be resolved with a megadose (which are considered harmless).
Also, are you getting enough sun? I have found this does wonders for me. (Alternatively supplement with Vitamin D and make sure you research the right dose, because the recommended dose was too low for many years).
