I was on mdr tb medication for two years and now it has stopped from one month. In that regime I was having clofazimine tab and it made my skin visibly dark. This is affecting my confidence. Please help.

Hi lybrate-user, it will go by itself within 6 to 7 months. You don't need to worry about it.

The discoloration fades with stopping the drug, but may persist for months or years. Vit-c./vit. B1/b6/b12 can minimize the pigmentation.
