HI
Well come to HCM
I do not think this is ochronosis because the symptoms that given here may not suggest the ochronosis in my opinion this could be hypersensitivity reaction and this is to put first for diagnosis and need to be treated accordingly, if symptoms does not improved then this can be brought to investigation for ochronosis, hope this helps thank.
