What Causes Lightening Of Skin Color Around Eyes While On Lisinopril?

Hello:

I have been taking Lisinopril-HCTZ 10-12.r mg for about 3 months now. I have noticed that there is a lightening of my skin color around my eyes and check only on one side of my face. It happens to be the side on which sun usually hits my face during my morning commute to work. Could this be because of the medication. Also take Crestor.

I am 62, 4'11", 121 lbs. African American female

Thank you
