Will My Lips Return To Normal Color After Stopping Of Smoking Weed?

I used to smoke weed on a regular basis (around 4-6 times per week) but they blackened my lips and I stopped in the hopes that my lips would revert to their original color. It s been 3 months since I stopped. I ve noticed some improvement but nothing drastic. Will my lips ever return to normal?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Smoking leads to collection of deoxygenated blood in body which in turn causes dark pigmentation of lips.
Once you have stopped smoking, slowly your lips would start recovering.
You can also use a mild depigmenting cream like kojic acid.
This should help you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
