Can the redness of the skin after taking clofazimine/Semprax be restored?

Clofazimine (Clofazimine) is the core drug for the treatment of leprosy and drug-resistant tuberculosis, but its most intuitive side effect is skin pigmentation, and patients often become anxious due to "turning red". The essence of skin redness is the deposition formed after the drug combines with the melanin in the skin cells. It usually begins to gradually subside 2-3 months after stopping the drug. However, due to individual metabolic differences, the recovery period may be extended to 1-2 years for yellow people due to obvious contrast in skin color. This procedure has no health risks, but may cause psychosocial difficulties, especially in young female patients. It should be noted that during the recovery period, the skin's sensitivity to ultraviolet rays increases, and strict sun protection is required to avoid further deepening of pigmentation. Never stop taking medication on your own due to "redness".
