Black skin

After being diagnosed with CKD I noticed my forehead turning black spread to my face. Is this caused by CKD can I get rid of it?

I've included an article about skin issues with CKD. Be sure that you discuss this issue with your nephrologist. Keep a running diary of what you are eating and be sure to discuss this with the nephrologist. Ask for a referral to a Renal Dietitian. Bring your hard copies of your previous lab reports and help design a kidney-friendly meal plan for your specific wants and needs.

Best of luck.
