I am a working woman living alone in Mumbai with rotational shifts (morning, day, and night), so I do not have a consistent routine. Recently, I visited my hometown for almost a month. I saw a general physician who did a full body check-up and tests. My reports are mostly normal, except for Vitamin D deficiency and a small functional cyst in my right ovary. My doctor said this cyst is common in women and usually resolves after 2 to 3 menstrual cycles. I have not had regular periods for the past 7 months. Once, my cycle was delayed by 21 days, but normally the interval is 6 days or longer. I do not have facial hair, but after using a Flawless trimmer for women once, I developed cystic acne, especially around the jawline and smile lines. I also experience mild depression, stress, anxiety, and fatigue. Could you please advise what could be causing these issues, and what steps I should take next?

Acne after shaving is likely due to skin irritation, not hormones. Functional ovarian cysts are common and self resolving. Stress and shift work may delay periods. Focus on sleep, routine, and take Vitamin D supplements.

I have been experiencing lower back pain. Last year, I had a similar type of pain, which was found to be due to vitamin deficiency and was successfully treated with medication. Now, the pain has suddenly started again. Please suggest what I should do.

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.
