Thank you for query.The natural color of skin is the best.it is better not to alter it for whitening.Cosmetics do more harm than good. So stop all cosmetics.You can use antioxidant and vitamin tablets.Then advise your child to not lick the lips too much or cause irritation to it which can cause darkening.Treat if any infections or deficiencies are present.You can get back directly to me for any clarifications with the photos.Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist.
