Darkened patchy lips

2021-06-25 23:48:15
My lips have darkened in purple patches in three areas. They are also raised and and hardened now. Earlier It irritated alot resulting in scratching, now it's stable but I also see a couple of pimples on my lips and a yellowish dot in an area. The skin on the lips also sometimes withers. It has been a week since it started just with the blackening of a part of the lips.

It might be due to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation , avoid using any cosmetic products over ur lips , and do take excess water/fluids to get ur lips hydrated and use good moisturizing lip balm , And for pigmentation consult dermatologist, after thorough examination  based on ur intensity  , wil suggest treatment.
