                                    Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
The pigmentation you are having is due to the side effect of the drugs you are taking. It is difficult to subside as long as you are taking the antitubercular drugs. Still you can try some simple measures for the lightening of these marks-
1. Apply sunscreen lotion regularly.
2.Raw potato juice, mashed avocado, cocoa butter, lime juice and honey can be applied daily to the area.
3.Take about 20 volume of hydrogen peroxide to which add about two tablespoonful of some milk powder and then mix it with a few drops of glycerine. Apply this mix on the pigmented areas and let it remain for 20 minutes. Then rinse the skin with water and subsequently apply moisturizer.
4. Take same amount of vinegar and use for cleansing the skin. Rinse the skin and let it dry naturally by air. The acetic acid in the vinegar will help in getting rid of the dark color and also allows the skin to remain radiant as well as smooth. XXXXXXX cider vinegar as well as natural vinegars are beneficial for treating this health condition.
5. Mix a Vitamin E capsule with some drops of castor oil and spread the content over the affected parts.
6.Onion juice is also very good. Mix equal amount of vinegar and apply the content on the affected area.
All of these are home remedies these do not guarantee complete recovery but are safe and effective up to some extent.
Feeling like eating slate pencil is commonly seen in anaemia which can be diagnosed by getting a blood test done and treatment is given accordingly.
 
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. If there are additional concerns, I am available for your followups.
