I am 27 year old my lip shade is getting darker and darker day by day Do you have any treatment for it ?
Answered by Samruddhi Bhartiya
It's first essential to understand the possible causes behind dark lips:
- Hyperpigmentation, which is characterized by excess melanin, could be the culprit. Lip hyperpigmentation in turn may be caused by following factors:
- excessive sun exposure,
- dehydration,
- tobacco,
- allergic reaction to toothpaste, lipstick, etc.
- excess of caffeine,
- Repetitive licking of lips,
- alcohol.
Using sunscreen, avoiding tobacco & alcohol, limiting caffeine intake, drinking more water, and switching up brands on certain lip/dental products may help.
- chemotherapy,
- anemia,
- vitamin deficiency,
- use of excess fluoride.
For this you should get medical tests conducted, and then either get treated for vitamin deficiency & anemia, or limit fluoride usage, or for chemotherapy you can seek dermatologist guidance with the approval of doctor managing your chemo.
If changing certain lifestyle habits don't work in your favor, then you can approach dermatologist, where upon personal consultation they will provide treatments such as:
- topical medications,
- chemical peel,
- laser,
- microdermabrasion,
- or lip tattooing as the final resort.
