Hello, Skin pigmentation is very common is people on clofazamine. The half life of clofazamine is 70 days. So it may take anywhere between 3-6 month for the pigmentation to reduce. During this time you have to use sunscreen, there are some depigmenting creams which may also help. Consult a certified dermatologist.
