Three years ago, I underwent a biopsy, and the report showed Lichen Planus Pigmentosus. Since then, dark patches on my skin have been increasing gradually. I would like guidance on what I should do now.

Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP) is chronic. Topical steroids, tacrolimus, and sun protection help. Avoid skin trauma and consult dermatologist for patch specific treatment. Vitamin D test, skin biopsy if still unclear.

Hello Doctor. Please see my report and advise me on treatment and medicine. My vitamin D level is very low. Can I take cod liver oil tablets and Uprise D3 pack? Please advise me on what to do?

Can vitamin D deficiency cause regular headaches, weakness, and a feeling of imbalance in a person?
