White Patches On Face. Exposed To Sun. Pigmentation Problem Or Lack Of Vitamins?

I have white patches on my face, which appeared during summer, they seem to show more when exposed to the sun, can you please advise why this is and what i need to do to treat it. I am worried that it could be pigmentation problem? could the white patches be due to lack of vitamins? My blood tests did show that I am lacking in vitamin D . I now have tablets which I am taking. Please advise. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You

Hello
Thanks for posting your query.
This seems to be ple. Polymorphous light eruption is an allergy to the sun.
Application of a mild steroid cream like cortisone twice daily will resolve it.
Also application of sunscreen will prevent it in the future.
Regards.
I find this answer helpful
