Instagram Following Permanently Banned

Dear Instagram team, I am unable to follow anyone on my account, neither my friends nor any pages. I have been given a lifetime ban and it would be greatly appreciated if it could be removed. Even after the ban has been lifted, the pages and users that I previously followed will not be added back to my list. I am in desperate need of your assistance in finding a solution to this problem. Would it be possible for you to assist me as quickly as you possibly can? Does anyone else know of a solution to this issue with Instagram, and if so, what steps did you take to fix it? I am grateful in advance for your assistance.
