Im a 17 year old asian male with dark lips. I was born with lighter lips but i have neglected them when i was younger. I have always peeled and ate the skin of my lips (I know disgusting lol) when i was younger and they were chapped. Everytime i went to the dentists, when i'd have my teeth pulled and they used anesthesia i'd take very hot water and test on my lips to see how i can not feel the pain. I never really cared about my lips from about 5 years old to 13.

share the same meaning and frequently are used interchangeably. These flat, dark spots, like moles, have no significance to the skin or overall health. These benign spots can appear on lips that have a history of overexposure to UV rays. They are permanent, and they can increase in quantity over time.
It is caused by chronic exposure to the sun’s UV rays and poor oral hygiene may be another risk factor. Symptoms include dry chapped lips, thinning skin on the lips, scaly patches, ulcers or crusting on the lips, swelling of the lip, redness or soreness of the lips and loss of demarcation between the border of the lip and the surrounding skin. Any or some of these symptoms may be present in patients.
2) Second possibility is of cheilitis which is inflammation of the lips.
My daughter who is ten has also had several episodes lately where her lips are very purple and under her lower lip also becomes a dark purple. While swimming today someone mentioned to my daughter that she had something black on her face, but it was just discoloration.

I use chaptick 24/7 if I don't my lips and the side of my lips where the dark spot are located gets really dry. The black spots sometimes Burns really bad .
It is natural for vaginal lips to be brown or even black. It is determined by genetics and varies by race. Don't let it bother you. Millions of women look like that and they still get married and have children.
To prevent blackness of the lips, smoking and chewing, biting or pricking the skin of the lips should be avoided. The most effective solution for treating dark lips is alexandrite and ND-Yag Q-Switched laser treatment. Please discuss these options with your dermatologist.

Rare but serious causes of dark spots on lips are oral melnaotic macules and Peutz Jegher ‘s syndrome .Keep your lips well hydrated. Apply lemon juice mixed with glycerine.Cutting down on tea, coffee and quitting smoking may help. If it persists consult a dermatologist. He may suggest appropriate treatment. I hope it helps.
Take care and regards!
My friend says her lips has changed color but is still a virgin. Could it be an infection?

Thank you so much for the reply! The dark spot itself is gone ... but my lips get painfully dry and flaky still. So, I will definitely try taking Vitamin B complex. I stopped taking multivits but I can get back into that as well.
I also read somewhere that it could be from hormonal changes & around the time the dark spot cropped up I had started taking birth control again ... might that have been a cause as well?
I started using Vaseline earlier in the week & that has really helped!
What can cause a dark spot on the lips, as if there was a concentration of blood beneath the surface? There is no actual bleeding, and no sensations whatsoever. The skin is otherwise normal, no blister or anything. The lips are a normal color, aside from the one darker area.
I have a severe cold sore phobia and the lips belong to a family member I live with.

s lip balm with SPF 15 to help protect your lips from direct heat and UV. Other lip balm or lip moisturizers with SPF may also help. There is no definite treatment for dark lips although micropigmentation which is used to apply permanent colors on the lips, eyes and eye brows may be used to bring color to the lips. This is more extensive and entails more risks but may give more dramatic and long lasting results.
can you tell me if the vitamin E cream has helped you in the long run and if the dark skin in and around the corner of the lips has disappeared ? My son last July got thèse cold sores for the first time on his lips right after a conjunctivitis and healed from it but just few weeks later we had to travel to India and it turned more darker and visible...as if He was having a moustache ...guess that list the hot weather that have accelerated the darkness...

Hello,
From the symptoms and picture it looks like oral melanotic macule. Oral melanotic macule is a benign, dark spot found on the lips or inside the mouth.
A biopsy has to be done and laser treatment is the main treatment option.
I sincerely suggest you to get it evaluated from a dermatologist. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
