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.

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 ?

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?

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.

Then during the summer before 10th grade, my lips started getting black. My whole upper lip turned dark black and my lower lip had black on the sides only. My bottom lip is so huge that it hangs and my upper lip is also big. That means that this is the first thing people look at when they look at me. Also, I noticed I got yellow dots grouped together on the middle of my upper lip. I think it may be Fordyce something.
