Brief Answer:
Labial melanotic macule, harmless

Detailed Answer:
Hello, greetings!
Darker spots on the lip can be a Labial melanotic macule (freckle on the lip). These are due to sun exposure and are harmless. You do not have to do anything about it.

It would be helpful if you could upload a picture of the affected lesion so that I can help you better.
Regards,

Pink in black spots on lip

Answered by Dr. Sonia Raina (14 hours later)

Brief Answer:
It looks like labial melanotic macule

Detailed Answer:
I have gone through your picture and to me it seems to be a labial melanotic macule. These are harmless and you don't have to worry about them.
However, if you observe any change in colour, appearance or shape, then it is better to get a biopsy done to be on the safer side.

If you want to get it corrected cosmetically you may get it corrected by cryotherapy or laser at your nearby cosmetology centre.
