Has Anyone Ever Experienced Any Allergic Reactions With Their Medications, Such As HYPERPIGMENTATION?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

HYPERPIGMENTATION- Pigmentation disorders like hyperpigmentation can make the skin appear lighter or darker, or blotchy all over the body and can affect people of all races. Many things can cause this, however, I know that certain epileptic medications have been known to trigger this allergic reaction.
