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.

A white patch on the neck can be due to vitiligo, fungal infection (tinea versicolor), or post inflammatory changes. Since you have vitamin D deficiency, skin pigmentation changes are possible. No thyroid or sugar is a good sign both can worsen vitiligo. Check for scaling, itching, or spreading these help differentiate cause.

View allI have been taking Vitamin D3 60,000 IU regularly for the past year. However, for the last two months, I have been experiencing a dull pain in my left abdomen. My recent Vitamin D3 level is 121 ng per mL, and my urine report shows the presence of amorphous phosphates. The recent ultrasound is normal. Could you please advise if this could be due to Vitamin D3 toxicity and what steps I should take next to correct this?

For the past two months I have been having an internal pain in both my knees. My blood report is normal and there is no external swelling or redness. However, I feel internally as though my knees are numb and in spite of doing basic exercises I feel a pressure on my knees while walking. This problem persists throughout the day, making it difficult for me to even walk. As of the past two months I have been facing problems in walking and hence I take rest at home. The orthopaedic doctor checked my knees externally and said there is no problem. I request you to suggest the remedy that I should do to cure this problem as I am in deep pain. Thank you.

I recently got a blood test report showing my Vitamin D level as 18.11 ng/mL. I am experiencing fatigue, unusual joint and muscle aches, and back pain. Could these symptoms be due to low Vitamin D? Should I take Vitamin D3 60,000 IU once a week? Please advise what I should do.
