I have a problem that I m having pink spot on my lips, and it s very embaressing, when I go out in a sunny day it becomes more visible, The doctor said that it is Pityriasis Alba , I really want to know how can I get them back to their colour? I heard that there are hospitals that make tattooing? but where? and how much does it cost? I m a student from africa :) it s been more than 10 years now... and it started before I started smoking (I stopped smoking 5 years from now).... I have another white spot in my hand... help plz

Thank you very much...

I went to a doctor in my country and he gave me some medicines and it didn't work... another doctor in UAE told me just to forget about it and that it will soon disappear( that was 5 years ago)

I'm now considering tattooing.. what do you think?

By the way... it is possible for me to travel to india
