You likely have a combination of perioral acne (small painful white bumps) and post-inflammatory pigmentation (darkness around mouth).
This is quite common and usually triggered by hormones, occlusive creams, toothpaste irritation, or friction.
Helpful Tips / Word of Caution:
• Avoid heavy creams, steroid creams, or oily products around mouth
• Check toothpaste (avoid strong mint/fluoride if irritation suspected)
• Do not touch/pick → worsens marks
• Improvement takes 4–8 weeks
This is very treatable
