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?

My skin looked orangey pink all over and all age spots darkened Nails were also slightly pink
Did blood tests monthly and the one time. I had a serious problem- plummeting platelets from rifampin, I just happened to go earlier at 3 weeks for convenience, which was lucky
However that is a rare issue so I would say monthly is more than fine unless you feel unwell
Clofazimine itself is unlikely to cause lab changes so testing is more for the other meds
