I have never indulged in smoking or hookah in my life period but still the area of my lips which is exposed outside has turned dark almost near to black. Thr darkness recedes as it approaches the centre of the lips. Many a times ppl ask me do you smoke? Ohh! NO why are your lips dark then! Wht could be the cause for this lip color and any remedies or suggestions to make them even toned and normal looking ?

The colour depends on the melanin pigment present and there might be epidermal hypermelanosis present at the site and which can be the cause of darkness and nothing should be done for it
