Minocycline (100 mg2xaday)left me w/ discolored lips. it's been a month since i've stopped & it still hasn't gone. will it go? how can i resolve this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it usually goes: Dark pigmentation from Minocycline normally clears but it can take months to years to do so. None of the cases I have seen failed to clear over time, and unfortunately there is nothing you can do to speed up the process.
