Very possible
I wonder if mine is caused by SPF (sun protection cream) use because I use it to keep dark lines from getting darker. Have been on supplements for awhile now.
I now have vitamin D deficiency. I'm not sure if it was related to the IV steroid treatment I had or if I have always had it but didn't know it. I'm taking supplements but the progression still continues.
My Dr. first diagnosed me with very low vitamin D (diagnosed at 7) about a year and a half ago. That is the first time any Dr. had ever checked for vitamin D deficiency. I was prescribed 50,000 U once a week for quite a while (until my vitamin D was normal), then prescribed 50,000 U once a month.
I take vitamin D now and I think it helps. I have the girls take it as well.
I recently discovered I am severly vitamin D deficient.
