Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM team.

Understanding your concern.

Hyperpigmentation in chin and side of lips is because of excessive deposition of pigments i.e melanin pigments in this area. It gets exagerrated whenever exposure to UV rays of sun increases.

I would suggest you to avoid exposure to sun area and if have to go outside cover with cloth. Use tan care which is a medicated cream which will lessen these pigments. Apply mashed potatoes on skin which will give marked improvement. Use teatree oil on cotton and apply 3 times a day.

Donot use corticosteroids on this area as it will exagerrate your condition and will cause more darkening.

Your symptoms will resolve in 2-3 weeks. If your condition keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once. Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
