Lips Color Are White

I am Satya. I suffered from chicken pox roughly 2 years ago. From then onwards my lips color were changed to a white colour. Could you please let me know of some drugs/medicine that would help me out. Thanks.

Hi Satya
Welcome to healthcare magic .
By white lips do you mean that they seem pale throughout or you have patchy area of depigmentation.If pale then it could indicate anemia and it can be treated by taking iron-b complex capsules. But if patchy white areas are there it could be post chicken pox scarring or vitiligo or any skin disorder which can be diagnosed and treated only after thorough examination.kindly visit a dermatologist for better result.
Thank you

hi welcome to Health Care Magic,
its unlikely due to chicken pox. it needs to be shown to a dermatologist. it must be something called as vitiligo. just consult a dermatologist.
