Reported about 1 year ago

A 28-year-old woman from Hangzhou, China, developed difficulty chewing suddenly and sought medical attention, revealing a condition known as rickets due to long-term vitamin D deficiency. The woman's excessive use of sunscreen to maintain fair skin and irregular eating habits contributed to the deficiency, as she avoided sunlight exposure. The dermatologist Dr. Deng Lin emphasized the importance of balancing sun protection with adequate sun exposure to prevent health issues like osteoporosis, especially among young individuals with reduced outdoor activities.
