Sebhorric Keratosis Is Caused By Vitatim D3 Deficiency. What Test Is There To Determine If Patient Is Deficient?
I understand that sebhorric keratosis may be caused by vitatim D3 deficiency. What test is there to determine if the patient is indeed deficient? Is there a cream or ointment that contains the vitamin that could be applied to the lesions? Is there a risk of treatment with vitamins without first getting ones levels checked?

hello dear,
thanks for your query at HCM,
test that is done to determine vitamin d levels is 25 hydroxy vitamin d test levels should be in range of 25 - 80 ng/ml
there can be adverse effects if taken in excess amounts it can damage heart and central nervous system.
there are several treatment options available for sebhorric keratosis like cryotherapy, curettage, shave removal, laser treatment.
regards.
