Is Skin Darkening Due To The Penidure Injection Being Discontinued?

Hi, this is raju. at the age of 10 i had swelling in my joints(knees, wrist) also sometimes to breathe(as i felt twisting like experience in my heart). and local doctor prescribed its a rheumatic fever, and suggested to take penidure injection every 21 days, till age of 30 to 35. Now i am 27, from past 2.5 years i stopped taking it due to busy life in bng(also neglected). Now i realized that i have to undergo diagnosis, also my skin is becoming dark... is this because i stopped taking this drug. Please help me with this

Hi,

Darkening of skin is not related to discontinuation of penidura injection. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to consult sketch tab vitamin C daily for long time. Apply lotion containing vitamin E and aloe vera. Take bath with Kojic acid soap.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
