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.

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?

If vitamin D increased from 32 to 138 in a month, is that a cause for cancer? He also has acute back pain and said that his bones are dissolving into his blood, which is why his vitamin D increased so much?

I have done an X ray and the report says lumbar spine straightening due to muscular spasm. I fell from my bicycle when I was 14 years old. Could this be the reason? My report is attached. Please help. My life is in trouble. Sometimes it feels like something is stiff and tight in my back.
