Are there any side effects of these medications?? Whether the pigmentation lasts long or it will go ? Plz suggest
Don't worry...you are suffering from seborrheic dermatitis causing this pigmentation problem.. Specific medicine available for good control... Treatment depends on the severity..Do direct online consultation for detailed prescription by sending photos.

Addisonian pigmentation is seen in vitamin B12 deficiency which leads to darkening of skin, likely due to increased melanin synthesis. Correction of b12 by injections can reduce pigmentation to some extent.
