What Causes Frequent Urination?

Hey! So this sounds weird but I literally have to go pee like 8 times within a 2 hour span sometimes..basically I always have to pee-like an abnormal amount. It s healthy, no irritation, not super yellow and I do drink a lot of water. However, I m wondering if this has to do with why my skin and hair is excessively dry (I have to use like 3 different moisturizers and a deep hydration serum before putting on makeup and my hair is basically like straw). I am also pretty thin no matter how much I eat (and I eat like a football player)..my whole family is thin so it is in my genes but no matter how much I try to put on weight I cant. I m wondering If all these things correlate and my body just cant hold water weight and struggles to absorb water and hydrate itself? Instead it just goes right through me and i just pee it out?

Hi,

Based on the description, the cause for frequent urination could be:
