Body Complexion And Lips Getting Dark, No Sun Exposure. Taking Iron Supplement. Stomach Making Sound After Drinking Milk. Remedy? How To Get Pink Lips?

Hi, my body complexion has been getting dark lately, i had very fair feet and legs (i never expose my legs they are always covered and my feet were also covered 24/7 for 6-7 mnths due to winters) so it is not sun exposure, even my arms and hands have gotten pretty dark, in fact my whole body has gotten dark mostly feet hands and legs, i cannot figure out a reason as i havent used any new products, only the fact that i have been taking iron suppliments (2 daily) for two months now.
Secondly whenever i have milk after long breaks between meals, my stomach starts to make these weird sounds (like an old door opening), and i have been having milk my whole life( im 23) and i love milk, and my stomach has been upset for over a few months now consitipation and diaharrea alternatively.
Lastly i had pink lips but now they have gone dark with a very dark outline, and i have to use a lipstick, how can i stop using a lipstick and get pink lips, i cannot stop using a lipstick unless i have pink lips, so how to remedy that.
Thanks in advance

Hello,all these skin changes are associated with late twenties or in thirties.so don't worry.u r taking iron supplement that could be the cause of pigmentation .so stop taking iron if u have normal hB. APPLY SUNSCREEN DAILY ON UR EXPOSED PART [suncross aqua gel]daily two time daily. take vitamin E carotenoid n lycopene supplement [cap Antoxid HC ] daily after breakfast for 3 month. u also discuss about lactose intolerance so put this complaint infront of gastroenterologist they could give u better suggestion.
