Medical Conditions - Dark Lips

Pigmentation can occur on the lips along with other parts of the body. Excessive exposure to sunlight, smoking, licking the lips, using expired or dark shade lip color while out during the day, consuming too much coffee, and genetics are some of the reasons that can cause darkening of the lips. Drinking less coffee, hydrating the lips, using lip balm with SPF (sun protection factor) in it, and using topical creams prescribed by the doctor will reduce the pigmentation on the lips.
