Drug-induced hyperpigment

2016-05-01 06:12:52
My dad had a heart attack 5 years ago. Since then he is on cardiac medication which mainly contains drugs which keep the blood thin. Now he started having dark patches over face, stomach and legs (in general skin). What he observe is, if he stops the medication for 1-2 days, patches fade out. And again on restarting the medication, new patches generates up. Please help in figuring out the disease and suggest some solution for the same. Thanks
