What Causes Hyperpigmentation On Face While On Medication For Hypertension?
My mother-in-law is 69 years. She is on medication for hypertension. She is obese. No other chronic disease was not yet detected. Both sides of her face are darker than other places of the face. Please let me know the reasons for this dark pigmentation?

Hello There
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that hypertension medication doesn’t not cause any pigmentations you should look for her diet and other deficiencies like vitamin B12, Folic Acid etc,
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
