Hello,

I can understand your concern for the pigmentation around mouth and can make out the stress or the same as a young person.

In general the darkness around mouth is due to various causes such as:

-due to genetic and familial tendency
-Due to nutritional causes
-due to licking of lips and surrounding area.

Therefore for the betterment I suggest you to take care of nutrition and eat a lot of green vegetables and fruits.

Stop licking your lips if you are doing so and apply a plane moisturizer around lips. Glycolic acid cream can be applied but only under dermatological supervision.

All the best.
