Vitamin D Deficiency
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient involved in bone health, immune function, and several other processes in the body. The skin can produce vitamin D when exposed to sunlight.
Although vitamin D deficiency can be associated with certain skin conditions, it is not a typical direct cause of white spots on the skin.
People who receive little sunlight, have darker skin, cover most of their skin, or have certain medical conditions may be at greater risk of vitamin D deficiency.
