Hi.. Thanks for asking Health care magic..

From your symptoms..It seems you have vitamin D allergy.. Your daily dosage is in limits and its not cause of allergy..

So stop taking vitamin D and take antihistaminic syrups like Avil for rash relief..

Then consult your doctor.. He might suggest some dose reduction/ magnesium supplemets which sometimes prevents this allergy/ change of route like skin patches or sublingual forms which dont cause gut related vitamin D allergy/ he may stop vitamin D completely and advise you sunlight and vit D foods rather tha supplements

But you need to choose methods under physicians supervision as Allergy may become severe sometimes...

Hope my answer clarified your doubts..
