Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain in case if you have dark lips and in case if it is present since birth it can be genetic and if it is the cause lightening the colour can be difficult..
Other causes that can cause lip darkening can be due to causes like Anemia, cyanosis,smoking, sun exposure, side effects of medicines, Dry lips etc..
I would suggest you to consult a Dermatologist and get evaluated and evaluation of the underlying causes can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
You can take topical treatment for skin lightening like application of creams containing Kojic Acid, Azelaic acid, Vitamin E..
Glycolic acid, arbutin containing ointment and cream can be helpful..
You can also apply honey over lips..
Scrub your lips with a lemon piece with sprinkling salt over it..
Tea tree oil can also be applied..
Do cool compresses over lips..
Avoid sun exposure.
Drink plenty of water and take a nutritious diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
