Hair Shedding and Dry Foot

Hello, I have a couple of issues going on which I really think are related and hoping someone can help.  
I have one extremely dry, cracked foot. (There was another post on this, Lichen Simlex Chronicus?)  My case is the same, just very dry and painfully cracking right foot and the other foot is completely fine.  

The other problem I am having is with my hair.  I am and have been,going thru massive shedding.  My hair is dry and breaks easily but the real concern is the shedding.  There is a root to the hair that falls out and my head is now feeling tingley.  I have been told by a Dermatolgist who had my hair tested that I have non scarring Alopecia. I may have that, however this is severe shedding and not typical hair loss. Its been going on for about a year and a half.  Originally thought related to stress with passing of my mom & mother in law but its just getting worse as time goes on.  So again I suspect something more.  Not sure if the foot and hair could be related.  Could it simply be poor diet, severe lack of sleep, and stress?  Help is appreciated!

Thank you!
