Brief Answer:
lactic acid peel works well in lip pigmentation

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com.
I have read your query.
I understand your concern.
Pigmentation lips is most commonly due to any smoking or any cosmetic use.
Being a male, the second cause is already being ruled out.
In my such patients with pigmentation lip, I prefer to advise lactic acid peel like Claze peel from.Percos.
The sessions are done every 10-14 days apart. In most of my patients, only 2-3 sessions are enough and sufficient in improving pigmentation.
The sessions should be done by an expert dermatologist who deals with chemical peels. It should not be done by patient itself at home as improper technique may harm the skin.
Also you should apply good amount of lip balm regularly to keep the lips moisturised.
Visit your doctor in person so that he can do peel sessions.
You can share my opinion with him.
I hope it helps.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
tca is a strong peel, peeling should be done by a Dermatologist

Detailed Answer:
Tca is a very strong peel and is not advisable to apply on lips .
Regarding claze, it is also applied with great caution. You can see the procedure of application of peel on you tube but as a doctor we know where to put the peel in more concentration and where to put in less concentration. Secondly we know how to deal with the adverse effects if encountered while doing session in any patient.
I totally understand your concern as a young boy. You can talk to your parents about it . It does not cost much. The usual cost of procedure is Rs 500-800 per session.
Rather buying the peel would cost you more.
In my opinion, you should discuss your concern with your parents . You can show my replies to them.
I am sure they would understand your point.
I hope it helps.
Take care.

Brief Answer:
You can use Xgain shampoo and apply tacrolimus over lips

Detailed Answer:
Hair texture of a person is basically constitutional. It cannot be changed much. Yes you can use good shampoo and conditioner to make them better. I usually advice my patients to use X gain shampoo for daily basis and Trigaine conditioner.
You may apply tacrolimus ointment 0.03 percent over lips till you get to visit your doctor for peel sessions.
Take care
