Hello and welcome to HCM,
Persistence of pigmentation at corners of mouth despite the use of topical ointment can be due to hormonal imbalance.
Tanning is one of the cause of hyperpigmentation of skin, however, the pigmentation in tanning is uniform and not limited to specific site.
Hormonal imbalance especially imbalance of pituitary hormones can be associated with hyperpigmentation of the skin.
I suggest you to consult a skin specialist for clinical assessment and thus treatment.
Thanks and take care
