I am a 49 year old male on Lipitor for the past 3 months. While it has done wonders for my numbers, I have experienced 2 strange side effects. The first side effect is that I have noticed many large and dark age spots (or brown blemishes) particularly bewteen the temporal hairline and the sides of my eyes. Also many on my forehead. They look hideous and make me look like I have aged 10 years. Also, I have noticed increased and unusually rapid hair loss and diffuse thinning. My numbers may look great, but my physcial appearance looks like crap now.

Are these normal side effects of Lipitor? Thanks
