Hi,thanks for query.It is not the drugs that are responsible,the nutritional deficiency that is leading to changes in skin color.Take plenty of fruits and vegetables.You should be fine.You can take multivitamin tablets also.bye.

Hello.Welcome.there is no relation between dengue and darkness of skin.I feel skin does not gets dark but only appears so.It is just a matter of perception.Good luck.
