Hello,
I am currently on Tamoxifen for the next five years and I have noticed since I started on this medication my face has been so dark, its like am wearing a light dark on my face. I am an african with a dark skin but this darkness is different.
Has anybody ever notice this before? and please does it go away once my body gets used to the medication?
Please help!
I've never heard of this side effect - but we all have our own personal experience with these drugs, so perhaps this is yourbody's reaction to tamoxifen. I'd definitely ask your doctor about it. Ladies, have any of you experienced darkening of the skin while on tamoxifen? PJH
