Hello.The causes of excess pigmentation on the face are various: exposure to sunlight, hormonal problems, genetics problems. Your thyroid pathology too can cause excess pigmentation.Among the drugs that cause excess pigmentation the most common are birth control pills.
If your doctor has prescribed metformin is because your blood sugar levels
are high.Metformin benefits outweigh possible adverse effects.
Follow the recommendation of your endocrinologist.
I wish you good health.
