Hi, dear
I have gone through your question.
I can understand your concern.
You have rashes. Cutaneous hyperpigmentation is very common in hemochromatosis. It is due to pigment deposition. So you may have that kind of rashes or it can be due to some other causes also. It is very difficult to say without examination. But yes it is common in hemochromatosis.
You should go for examination by your treating doctor and plan accordingly.
