It’s no secret that the pill can do some serious things to your body – both good and bad. But one potential side effect that’s often overlooked is hyperpigmentation. This is when patches of your skin become darker than the surrounding area, and it can happen for a variety of reasons. The good news is that hyperpigmentation is usually temporary and will go away on its own once you stop taking the pill. However, it can take several months or even years for the discoloration to completely fade. In the meantime, there are a few things you can do to help speed up the process.
