Brief Answer:
Not possible to remove blackness of lips permanently

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic

I understand your concern but I don't think that we can remove the dark colour of your lips permanently.

At the most we can lighten the colour slightly by using depigmenting creams containing kojic acid and avoiding the use of cigarette smoking.

Regards

Brief Answer:
Kojivit cream and suncros sunscreen lotion

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back to HCM.

I usually recommend my patients to apply KOJIVIT Cream on the affected areas at night and Suncros Sunscreen lotion during the day time. You don't need a prescription to get them.

This needs to be continued for atleast 10-12 weeks to notice any significant improvement.

Along with this I recommend them to include plenty of fruits and vegetables in their diet.
