What Could Cause The Dark Spot On The Lip?
Well, like a month or two ago, a dark spot on my lip appeared. I thought I just burned my lip or a sunburned spot but it hasn t gone away. It looks like it is becoming darker. I don t know what it is and just need to find out what it is and treat it.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Dark spot on lip may be hypermelanosis. It may be due to vitamin B12 deficiency. Consult a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
After complete investigations, the doctor might conclude proper treatment. Vitamin B12 injection or tablets may be taken, if there is deficiency of vitamin B12.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel
