A member asked:

Hi doctors, my 14 year old son is going through a really difficult puberty. he is emotional and angry and his skin is breaking out terribly. can you suggest a good vitamin that could help his skin, as well as relax him?

Dr. James Ferguson answered

I wouldn't: I know of no vitamin or other OTC product that would make any change in what you are describing. This sounds like you need to find an unrelated therapist/counsellor or psychiatrist to deal with his emotional state. A trip to his primary care doc for acne therapy would also be wise.

Good evening doctors. Should a 63 year-old male with kidney issues (serum creatinine 1.49 now, 1.33 previously) with low Vitamin D (26 now, 22 previously) take Vitamin D3? One of my doctors told me yes and one told me that there is no reason to do so?
