Avatar n tn Hi, It is normal to lose the natural color of the lip as we grow old. This could be due mainly to sun damage, smoking and the food we eat or drink ( as mentioned above). This is why it is important to stop smoking and to avoid too much exposure to sunlight. It is also recommended to wear sunscreen and lip balms with sun protection. Keep the lips moisturized and drink plenty of water also. Take care and regards.

Avatar m tn Hello, It can be an oral pigmented macule but if you are a smoker, smoker’s melanosis and any serious pathology need to be ruled out. Smoker’s melanosis is due to long-term tobacco smoking. Smoking cessation is the treatment of choice. The hyperpigmentation then disappears in a few months. Cryosurgery using liquid nitrogen and laser are the other main treatment modalities.
Avatar m tn Hello, This can be due to scarring or hyperpigmentation due to trauma to the lip. You can go in for laser treatment or microdermabrasion. Avoid picking, harsh scrubbing, and abrasive treatments unless prescribed by a dermatologist during this period. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist.
Avatar n tn for 2 years now I've been struggling with lip bumps. I've been to multiple sexual clinics and still nothing... I've asked about my symptoms and I just get the same reply "It's probably from smoking so much". These bumps are not ideal when it comes to relationships so I'd like to get some idea on what they are. Symptoms include: Constantly dry lips. Skin colored patch of clustered oily bumps that don't pop. They've grown in size over the past few years.
Avatar m tn It is less likely to be due to herpes infection which causes herpes labialis or herpetic gingivostomatitis; both of which are less likely to cause such symptoms. You have not mentioned the incident which initiated these symptoms but cryotherpy/ electrocautery may have been used for herpes sores/ warts or some benign lip lesions. What exactly it is can be confirmed only after a clinical examination and a biopsy of the lip scrapings.
Avatar n tn Applying Vaseline or Shea butter each night is also effective to lighten dark lips. Maintain a healthy lifestyle by exercising regularly and consuming a balanced diet consisting of fruits and vegetables. Fresh fruits like oranges, guavas, strawberries, papaya, etc. contain a good amount of Vitamin C to lighten the skin. Drink 2-3 litres of water every day .This is merely an advice. For more queries and assistance visit a dermatologist. I hope it helps. Best luck and regards!
Avatar n tn Over the summer I noticed that about 1/4 inch of the lips where it meets the lower lips turned to just brown from dark brown. Not sure if i caught it while shaving or what. I did go to the beach and not sure if that caused it either. Anyways, whenever my mouth is closed you can't notice it. When I open up my mouth though to talk, there is 1/4 inch where its just brown and then the dark coloration of my lips starts. Curious if there is any remedy to have that color come back or what?
Avatar n tn when i was 7 years old, my lips were pink and beautiful as i used to apply vaseline coming in higher classes i got busy and left the habit then i started getting dark lips, my mother suggested to continue the habit and so i did and started putting petroleum jelly twice everyday but the darkness on the side of my lips and on my lips continued and even after going to many dermatoligists and using different medicenes gave no change ! im now in deseprate need of help!
Avatar m tn I haven't had an outbreak of warts since 2009, after I had them removed surgically. They are inside my anus when I had them, so were difficult to observe. Recently I have had itching spasms in my anal area. But this was after I had a trauma to my anus and it bled. And when the symptons came about I first thought HPV is back. I think I may have tore my rectal wall, and its caused a fissure quite far up. I have examined the area, there is no wart like bumps.
Avatar f tn e the inside onw is pink and the outside one is really dark. someone suggested me to apply Kojivit plus in lips. Please advice if it will help or should I try something else.
Avatar n tn B2 deficiency, smoking, overexposure to sun and ill fitting dentures. In extreme cases, this could be due to bacterial or fungal skin infection. You need to drink plenty of water daily – around 1.5 – 3 litres per day and eat a balanced diet. Do not keep your lips dry; apply lip balm which contains sunscreen – preferably a medicated one. If the symptoms still persist, consult your skin specialist or dermatologist. Let us know about how you are doing and if you have any other doubts.
