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.

I am in the IT profession and have been suffering from lower back pain for 2 years. I got a Vitamin D3 test done today and the result shows a level of 6.9 ng/ml. Does this mean I have a deficiency? If so, what are the risks and what are the ways to increase Vitamin D levels? Thanks.

My wife has been suffering from upper back pain for the past 20 days. Initially, the pain was radiating, but now it has become localized to a pinpoint area in the upper middle back. We have done an X ray and blood tests, and both came back normal. So far, we have consulted three orthopedic doctors, but she has not found any relief from the pain.

Can vitamin D deficiency cause regular headaches, weakness, and a feeling of imbalance in a person?
