Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pigmentation of your lips is likely to be due to the hormonal changes that take palce in your body during the periods. These can decrease gradually over time. Using oral contraceptives might help you upto some extent by reducing the premenopausal symptoms.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
