Why Is The Area Around My Lips Turning Dark?

Hi, i am a 21 year old girl, i have sensitive skin. On the left side of my fore head is turned black, both my cheeks have dark skin, the area around my lips is also dark and my neck is black. Will the use of melalite xl prove benificial in treating it? If yes, how long should i use it? And are there any side effects. Or suggest me with anyother way to get rid of this problem!

hello .. it sure is an issue for you... I suggest u do some tests like, your BP check-up, Hb., serum Iron, TIBC, and serum cortisol studies, and SLE.Diseases like iron deficiency anemia, Addisonian disease are associated with hyper-pigmentation. also what is your job, hope u take adequate precautions from sunlight. The cream u write about is a depigmentation cream it will NOT treat the cause, but for interim use it would be good. It is not assosciated with any side effects. However,as u use it focus on cause and get a cure !! Also I hope u are not pregnant !
