Q&A

Answered by Dr. John H. Bocachica

What is the best Dark lips treatment for my lips?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Darkness around the lips is most common in people who are naturally darker and have quite a bit of sun exposure. Nothing darkens the skin as much as sun exposure does. I suggest you use sunscreen SPF 30 or higher regularly, regardless of whether it is sunny or not. Hydroquinone bleaching creams may help, but you have to be careful because anything beyond 4% can cause the opposite effect and dark in the lines even more.

In some cases, contact dermatitis from a deodorant or other irritants can lead to post-inflammatory hypopigmentation. To address the darkening, you can try creams like Hydroquinone (three to four percent).

This represents inflammation of the glandular structure in the perianal area in women. It is generally benign but can be very painful and uncomfortable. Try sitting in a warm tub with warm water several times a day or applying warm compresses to the area such as a warm cloth for about 15 minutes and as it may bring down the inflammation.
