Question 1

There is a white patch that has emerged on my neck, which was not that prominent sometime back but now it is quite prominent. I got blood tests done on the advice of the doctor and I do not have sugar or thyroid. I have vitamin D deficiency though. What could be the possible reason for this white patch? There is no patch on any other part of the body, only on the neck.

Question 2

Hello doctor, my husband has been having a headache for the last 20 days on the right side especially near the eye and front area. It is every day and comes and goes with no specific time. He went for an eye test and vision is good. Which department should we consult now for the headache? Please help.

Question 3

Hi Doctor, for the past one week, I have been experiencing pain in my lower back, especially in the mornings. The pain tends to improve as the day progresses. I had a similar issue a few years ago, and at that time, my doctor said it was due to a lack of calcium and vitamin D, which was confirmed by my blood test. I want to know if this could be the same problem again, and what should I take to get relief from this morning back pain?

Hi, my vitamin D results are showing 8.95. Shall I take vitamin D tablets or shall I focus on having vitamin D foods? Please suggest.

A level of 8.95 is very low. You should take Vitamin D3 supplements (usually 60,000 IU weekly for 6 to 8 weeks). Sunlight and food alone are not enough to correct this level.
