Forgot to ask you, the brown patches that you mentioned, are they just on your face and where on your face? I have some on only the left side of my face and on the underside of my left breast...very weird. How long have you been on the meds and when did you start noticing the brown spots fading? oh and when did they start to appear on your face? Mine started like when I was in grade school. Over the years, they started spreading and becoming darker, especially in the sun. Sorry if I am asking way too many questions.
