Hello, I am a 20 year old African American female, and I was born with a few spots on my lower lip, so my lip is mostly pink and black. Many think that my lips are discolored due to smoking, or drinking, which is not the case, because I do not do anything of that such. Recently a few months back I notice I had a new black spot above my upper lip, and at the bottom of my lower lip. Over time, I thought these spots would just disappear, or gradually go away, but instead they have increased in size. I also have noticed that these spots tend to flare up, or turn red once I start my menstrual cycle, or when it is in the process of coming. I am really trying to find out what might be the cause of these spots that have recently appeared on my face, and if possible how can I get rid of them?
