HI...this seems normal to me. I am happy that you have clearly, mentioned that it is not blue. Sometimes crusting of the babies lips can cause this coloration a the angles of the mouth.
Skin conditions are best diagnosed only after seeing directly. I suggest you to upload photographs of the same on this website, so that I can guide you scientifically. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome.
