Hello,
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)has been known to cause a darkened discoloration of skin and mucous membranes.
This is considered an adverse reaction and should be discussed with your prescriber.
It is important to evaluate this color change to make sure there is nothing else wrong.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
