Hi, I have noticed my three year old girl s lips are darken ever since she recover from her cold(she still cough occasionally). She is still active but her appetitie was bad since then... Her fingers and toes colour were fine. What could be the reason for darken lips in a three year old? Thank you for taking your time to reply to my questions..

Possibility of Vitamin B2 deficiency needs to be considered. It could cause angular stomatitis leading n to discolouration of lips.
Nutritional supplements with Multivitamin along with local application of Vaseline Petroleum jelly may be beneficial.
