Hello and welcome to HCM,
Patches on the body which are dark in color can occur due to various causes.
A more detailed history is required to know probable cause of these rashes.
Drug reactions are known to cause fixed drug eruptions in the form of rashes on various parts of body and most often upper lip.
Hypervitaminosis is unlikely to cause rashes.
Other primary skin diseases can also lead to similar rashes.
A clinical examination is required for assessing the lesions and making diagnosis and thus management.
I suggest you to consult a dermatologist for clinical examination and thus management.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja Puri
