See dermatologist : You need to see your doctor to get a diagnosis and a possible referral to a dermatologist. We can only tell if it’s innocuous or has sinister implications after examining it

Question 5

i have dark brown spots on my lips both upper and lower lip due to excessive lip biting dry cracked lips & licking. how  to get  my pink lips back ?

Accepted Answer

Peutz-Jeghers Synd?: Dark brown spots on the lips may be the first manifestation of peutz-jehgers syndrome. While the spots are benign, the dangerous association is with polyps in the gastrointestinal tract that can become cancerous. A family history may help sort out the diagnosis. Lip biting, chapped lips and licking will not cause these melanotic macules.See a dermatologist, and have a colonoscopy.
