Color Of Lips Lighter Than Other Parts Of Face. Done Lightening Treatments. Help
Dear Dr. I am 34 years old, I used to use some lightining treatments about 7 years ago, after that I had a problem with the white region above my lips about 4-5 cms which are not completly white and are lighter than other parts of my face but similar to the color of my body, i used to cover it with a cosmetic cream, it is not very critical but I am more sensitive these days and search for help. Once I went to a dramatologist and he compared the color of my body and face and this region and prescribed FE pills, nothing more. Would you please help me on this topic? Regards M.M.
