Could Too Much Vitamin Supplements After Gastric Bypass Cause Darkening Of Skin On Face?
I did the gastric bypass 3 years ago .6 months now i notice my face getting darker i dont know why . the rest of my body remain the same. i dont not stay out in the sun. i am taking all my vitamins also b12 vit. could too much vitamin cause only my face to go dark? or the vitamin D.
Over dose vitamins like vitamin A can cause skin pigmentation. Too much vitamins are not required and you can go for blood test to assess the vitamin status of the body and supplements can be started only after it. Include more fruits and vegetables to your diet to get adequate vitamins.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
