I have for years before I knew I had PBC, particularly along my jawline and the lower part of my cheeks. It’s more noticeable when I tan.

I had this on my neck prior to diagnosis and the first two people who I met face to face also had this but not as many later. Mine has disappeared over the years so I tend to think it was more hormone related than PBC

If it's the same, my arms always looked tan and darker than everywhere else except my elbows was very dark. I noticed over the last 1-2 years it went away. IDK but read that liver causes that

Like some others have noted, I also had hyperpigmentation on my face, prior to PBC diagnosis. Mine is pretty much gone and I think it was more due to being on birth control pills. Once thing I will mention is, I also applied aloe vera (the actual plant) to a bad spot I had on my forehead and it disappeared after about 3 weeks, applying 2xs a day.
