How do I get rid of dark skin around my chin?
My skin is naturally light, however, the skin above my upper lip and my chin area are darker than the rest of my face. How can I get rid of this dark area?
I tried lemon juice now those places are more dark than before .(it seem like burn marks )
Are there any home remedies I can try?

Hi,
You are having perioral melanosis.
There may may be some cause.
Anaemia,vitamin B12 deficiency,local irritants like soap,cosmrtic,dental cream,perfume,powder..etc, endocrinal diseases,internal diseases,drugs..and so on.
Consult dermatologist for perfect diagnosis.
Take oral vitamin C,glutathion and nicotinic acid tablets daily.
Apply kojic acid and vitamin C containing cream.
Cleanse the face with kojic acid containing cleanser.
Avoid stress and worries.
Improve hygiene, take proper sleep and nutritious diet.
I think you will be improved.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
