Hypopigmentation

Hi,
Been on 100 mg sprycel since dx, Jan 14, 2014. Pcru on 4/18/16. Joint pains cropped up for 3 wks, noticed my Asian skin is lightening up, also think my cheeks seem puffy...I do have a round face, so not sure. I thought low red blood count made me look bloodless.
Thnx,
Ginger

Hi.. I am on Gleevec and I too have a bloated face everyday. However it's frustrating to have the skin color changed. Been an indian it's too visible and people give me a weird look. I discussed this with my doctor and he gave me a flat response.. what is more important? Your life or your looks?
I get very irritated as it's there on my face and makes me realise of what I am going through.
