Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of whiteheads on face and dark lip corner which is because skin has increased sensitivity of getting pigmented and it leads to post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to wash your face daily with cold water and face wash containing salicylic acid twice a day and apply cream containing azelaic acid which is good for whiteheads. Apply lip balm containing sunscreen with SPF 30 to protect your lips from further darkening due to UV rays of sun. If condition doesn't get well in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like minocycline, steroid ointment and may recommend chemical peeling.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
