Hi, thanks for posting your query
You seem to have had chelitis which led to postinflamatory hyperpigmentation (turning black)
You may do the following:
Azaelic acid cream at night
A lipbalm with a sunscreen during the day like blistex lip balm
You may undergo peels with glycolic acid
Avoid licking of the lips
avoid other lip cosmetics
Hope this solves your query
