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.

My wife has been suffering from upper back pain for the past 20 days. Initially, the pain was radiating, but now it has become localized to a pinpoint area in the upper middle back. We have done an X ray and blood tests, and both came back normal. So far, we have consulted three orthopedic doctors, but she has not found any relief from the pain.

Hi, I have been suffering from gastric problems for the past 1.5 years and have been taking allopathic medicines. However, during this time, my Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 levels became low. I am looking for a permanent cure that addresses the root cause without side effects. Is there a homeopathic treatment available for this? Please advise.
