Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain black marks on the corner of lips can be due to a number of causes like excessiveelanin formation in that area, endocrine disorders, excess sun exposure, inflammation etc..
I would suggest you to apply creams that contains Kojic Acid, Vitamin E, arbutin, Azelaic acid.
Grapeseed extract and licorice extract containing creams are also effective..
You can also exfoliate your skin with a gentle scrub 2 to 3 times a week..
Always apply sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
You can also go for salicylic acid or Glycolic acid peeling..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
