Was on clofazimine for three years and did have the skin discoloration, extreme driness. Lots of sun proof clothing, moisturizer.
Most comfortable top in heat was from Kerrits. Heavy duty drug store moisturizers worked Ok
Everyone said how well I looked with the color as I’m usually pale. Shows how stupid it is to comment on people’s skin tone!
If you stop the medication make sure to continue sun protection for the months it will take to leave your system.
If the hair loss is bothersome you could try tiny amounts of oral minoxidil from a dermatologist- works for many over the course of a few months

thank you, dulwich, for your response. Was the discoloration showing as spots or just your skin color changed all over? One more question, when you were on clofazimine, how often did you have blood work done for liver function and kidney function?
