Is my lower inner lips normal? Or not?

Black pigmentation on the gums and lower lip can be caused by several factors: Ethnicity: Some individuals, particularly those with darker skin tones, may naturally have more pigmentation in their gums and lips. This is considered normal and does not usually indicate any oral health concerns. Smoking: Smoking tobacco products can lead to darkening or blackening of the gums and lips due to the chemicals and toxins present in tobacco. Medications: Certain medications, such as certain types of antimalarial drugs or minocycline, can cause pigmentation changes in the gums and other oral tissues. Medical conditions: In some cases, medical conditions like Addison's disease or Peutz-Jeghers syndrome can result in pigmentation changes in the gums and lips. To determine the cause and whether the pigmentation is normal or requires further evaluation, it is recommended to consult with a dentist or a healthcare professional. They will examine your oral cavity, review your medical history, and may conduct additional tests if necessary. Remember, a professional evaluation is essential for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment recommendations.
