Hello Prem chand yadhav,


The darkening of skin is due to side effect of HCQS, You need to totally avoid sunlight exposure.Otherwise wear some cotton clothes to cover your face & other exposing body parts.
You can consult a dermatologist who can just provide you with some creams to apply locally. But you can't reverse this problem.
