Could Dark Pigmentation Across Bridge Of Nose And Cheeks Be Related To Lupus?
I have lupus, Hashimoto s thyroiditis and have had a very darkened/hyperpigmented area on my back for several years. Has not improved even with normal thyroid studies. Also have dark pigmentation across bridge of nose and cheeks. Could this be related to my lupus or my thyroid disease
