What Causes Hyper Pigmentation Over Upper Lip?

Hi Doctor,
I'm having hyper pigmentation over my upper lips on both sides.
i have seen somewhere in the internet that, taking mega dosage of Celin vitamin C(2000mg) and 1 Evion Vitamin E(400 mg) can fade the dark spots. is it true??..
if so, taking those vitamin tablets for long time will cause any harm??.. is it safe to consume those vitamin tablets daily ??..

Dermatologist,  's  Response
hi,
thank you for putting up your query on HCM.
as per your history, pigmentation over lips could be due to external factors like usage of cosmetics,, or exposure to sun.
mt treatment advise would be:
-- you may continue tab vit c and tab vit e. but taking higher dosages can cause a side effect in long term.
-- you may continue with tab vitamin c 500 mg once a day.
--you may use sebamed lip balm for lips.
--you may also use hydroquinone 2% cream over lips once a day.
wishing you pink lips.
thank you
