Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
As per your query you have hyper-pigmentation in upper lip which could be because of post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation in which some part of skin becomes darker than other areas of skin. These areas of hyper pigmentation occur due to excessive production of melanin in cells called melanocytes. I would suggest to avoid exposure to sun rays and if ever you have to go out side cover your face. Apply kojivit cream twice a day after washing your face . Hydroquinone is quite effective as it blocks natural melanin formation. Use TAN CARE or sunscreen rich in SPF 30 while exposure to sun. Combination of cucumber and lemon juice is very effective natural treatment remedy. Your symptoms will start resolving in 7-10 days.
If your symptoms keeps on persisting then visit dermatologist for this, as then more intensive treatment like micro abrasion, laser therapy can be considered as treatment option.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
