My platelet distribution width PDW is 8.9 FL as per my blood report which is below the normal range. My platelet to large cell ratio PLCR is low at 14.8 percent. Is this a cause for worry and should I consult a doctor?

These values are slightly low but not worrisome if total platelet count and rest of the blood parameters are normal. No specific treatment needed unless symptomatic.

My blood report shows low RBC (3.86) and vitamin deficiencies: Vitamin D 8.8 and Vitamin B12 132. What does this indicate, and could you please guide me on the next steps or treatment?

Could you please check my recent test reports and let me know if there are any issues with MCV, ESR, lymphocytes, or liver and kidney function tests? I am also experiencing white patches on my skin and would like guidance on possible causes or next steps.
