Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi Ragini,
This hypopigmentation could be due to any previous lip allergy or infection or it could also be vitiligo. Kindly consult a dermatologist so that proper diagnosis based treatment can be started. Topical steroids and tacrolimus might help you in treating the skin discoloration, however a dermatologist's visit is mandatory. Take care.
