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.

I am in the IT profession and have been suffering from lower back pain for 2 years. I got a Vitamin D3 test done today and the result shows a level of 6.9 ng/ml. Does this mean I have a deficiency? If so, what are the risks and what are the ways to increase Vitamin D levels? Thanks.

I recently took a vitamin D3 test and my results came insufficient. I want to know the proper dosage for increasing it above 40 ng/ml?
