Pink Spot On Lower Lip Due To Starting Smoking. No Pain. Have Dark Lip Tone. Remedy?

Hi. I'm an African American male and my lips are naturally darker. I pick up smoking for all of a week and a pink spot formed on my lower lip. I'm asumming that it's a burn or just placement. It doesn't hurt but it is becoming increasingly annoying to look at. Is there any way to make this one spot dark to match the rest of my lips tone?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are no topical agents that can be used to help regain the colour in this area. It is likely to return on its own within a few weeks , this is provided that it is not further aggravated.

You should consider discontinuing smoking since it is already causing problems. If it is difficult to stop on your own you can enlist the help of your family, friends and doctor.

I hope this helps
