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.

Two months ago, my blood report showed Vitamin D3 at 17, and I started taking one tablet weekly as prescribed. After two months, my Vitamin D3 level has dropped to 9. Which supplement should I take for faster recovery, considering that relying on sunlight is not an option?

I got my blood report for vitamin D and the value is 6.85. I am a pure vegetarian and want to understand if I need to take any supplements?
