You can use sunscreen with SPF 30 and zinc oxide to prevent your lips from becoming darker. You should consult with a board certified dermatologist who may recommended bleaching creams that could help to lighten up the discoloration such as Hydroquinone. Be certain to be under the supervision of a board certified dermatologist for the most effective and safe treatment options for you.

Regularly apply vaseline for 3 months. If not beneficial, consult local dermatologist.
