I'm concerned about this connection between vitamin D deficiency and seborrheic dermatitis. My vitamin D levels are at 10.53, which seems low, and I have seborrheic dermatitis. My doctor mentioned there's no link, but I read somewhere that vitamin D deficiency might cause seborrheic dermatitis. I'm confused and would appreciate some clarity on whether there's any real connection or if it's just a coincidence. Could my low vitamin D be affecting my skin condition in some way?

View allI got into a road accident a couple of months back and ended up with some pretty bad wounds on my hands and elbows. They've healed now, but I'm left with these dark scars. Do you know of any ointment that can help get rid of these scars?

I've been noticing these dark spots on my upper body, like on my shoulders, upper chest, under my arms, upper back, and even on top of my arms. It itches a lot whenever I start sweating. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what's causing this. Could it be something serious or is it a common skin issue? What's the best way to deal with this itchiness and the spots?
Could be a condition called Tinea Versicolor. This is a fungal infection of the skin that can result in discolored patches. You can use over-the-counter antifungal creams such as Clotrimazole cream applied twice daily for 2-4 weeks. In severe cases, oral antifungal medications like Fluconazole may be prescribed by a doctor. Make sure to keep the affected areas clean and dry, and avoid excessive sweating.

Could you let me know if it's actually effective or if there might be any side effects I should be aware of? I've heard different things and just want to make sure I'm making a good decision for my skin.
