Dark Lips can be due to multiple reasons like smoking,stress, some medicines, frequent consumption of tea/coffee/hot beverages, sun exposure,etc. Lips tend to react to this constant heat and becomes dark or dry or develop wrinkles (at early age).Vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause lip pigmentation but its very rare. So I would suggest vitamin B12 tablets in proper dose only if you have deficiency.
Next Steps
Treatment for Dark Lips starts with finding the exact cause and try to eliminate it.You can use various Lip moisturizers that will reduce dryness and Lip spf for outdoors. Lip de-pigmentation creams are also available which can clear dark lips to some extent.The best treatment for Dark Lips is Laser which is very simple procedure done after numbing the lips. Laser can target pigmentation inside lips and destroy excess melanin(piment) for faster results.
Health Tips
Lip Fillers can give very good results if lips are dry or wrinkled . Fillers can make lips more plumped and glossy. Send a query with pictures for private consultation and treatment advice. All the best. Regards Dr Jeetendra Khatuja (Mumbai).
