Question : I have had red lips all my life and tired of being embarrassed by them, especially since I am a male. I have tried every over the counter application with no luck. I am thinking of possibly a laser treatment, or even a tattooing over to match my skin color.

Brief Answer:
Laser therapy can help.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. The features of each individual are unique. I understand your embarassment, but it has more to do with the attitude you carry. I understand that falling out of place may indeed be embarassing. But it is a matter of perspective.

Over the counter medication or any other sort of medications will not help. You can get a laser treatment done but a lot of things need to be kept in consideration. I do not think that tattooing would be the right thing to do as it would not impart a natural looking shade to your already-red lips.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
