Do Any Of The Medicines I Take Can Cause Pigmentation Problems ?

Thanks for writing to us.
All the medicines that you are taking are either to reduce the raised blood pressure, or for increased cholesterol along with a liver tonic and a drug to reduce gastric acidity.
None of these drugs are likely to cause a loss of pigmentation.
Are the superficial sensations like touch or pain intact in the hypopigmented area?
You need to get the patch examined by your dermatologist to rule out any sensory disturbances that might be associated and for the specific diagnosis of your skin problem.
Medical treatment of hypopigmented patches includes psoralens and topical steroids with exposure to sunlight which can best be prescribed by your doctor.
Targeted phototherapy is both safe and effective in the treatment.
I hope my answer and recommendations are adequate and helpful.
Waiting for your further follow up queries if any.
Regards.


Thanks for writing again.
It is not necessary that there should be an association with medicines.
Still you need to rule out any sensory loss in the patches.
Ginkgo biloba is an antioxidant and an overall immune booster.
If it is vitiligo then it might help by increasing the body immunity against the loss of melanocytes.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Wishing you a trouble free speedy recovery.
