I have sleeping issues and my Vitamin D is 9.63. The doctor prescribed Meloset 3 mg. Now my sleeping pattern has improved but my skin is getting dark and worse. What should I do?

Meloset helps sleep, does not darken skin. Low Vitamin D can affect skin. Take Vitamin D supplements as advised. Use sunscreen outdoors. Do Vitamin D test after 8 weeks. Consult doctor if skin darkens more.

Hi Doctor, my father is 58 years old. His lab report shows severe vitamin D deficiency, with a reading of 9 ng per ml. He is not able to sleep, feels depressed, has negative thoughts, and feels very low. Please confirm if his depression and low mood could be caused by vitamin D deficiency?
