No but when I first started dialysis I lost color all together, my hair has also changed colors but that is starting to return to normal as well.

The discolorations I get are those relatively small bruisy looking things, and my neph said it was due to the baby aspirin.  She changed me from every night to M-W-F to stop so many bruises.  I've also noticed that "normal" bruises never seem to heal.  They turn a pals yellow-tan and remain for up to 2 years before my skin goes back to "normal."
