Suggest Remedies For A White Patch Of Skin On My Lip Due To A Cut
I have excessively picked my lip and it has now healed white in color in that particular spot. It still gets dead skin on it. I am tempted to pick it off but I don t I keep it slathered with Carmex or anything that will keep the area moisturized. However the spot is still white. Almost like I have picked the color off my lip by constantly picking the skin off. Please help....how do I get the color back on that area of my lip?

Hi
I would recommend you to apply topical tacrolimus 0.1 percent ointment on the white spot twice daily for 6-8 weeks.
This should help in repigmenting it.
