Suggest Treatment For White Discoloration On The Lips
Hello, my lips have been peeling on and off for the past 3 years. About six months ago, I tore off a major portion of skin on my upper lip, towards the center of the lip. When the skin grew back, it has left a white line separating the new lip skin from the old. Is there anything I can do about this discoloration?

Hi there, thanks for posting here.
You appear to have a post traumatic leukoderma of lips. You can use tacrolimus 0.03% ointment at bed time for three months.
Avoid peeling the skin over the lips and avoid biting the lips.
You can use a good lipbalm with a SPF 30.
Take care. Hope my advice helps you.
