Depigmentation: Hi,
Skin changes are somewhat difficult to interpret without an image but I am assuming that the pink patches are on the outside of your lip (and not your gums?)

Question 4

a friend of mine had a lip injection put in 2 years ago.now there are small lip bumps and discoloration of lips, but no pain. what might be the possible causes?

Accepted Answer

That depends...: ...Entirely on what substance was injected. Medical grade fillers like Restylane (dermal fillers) and juvederm dissolve within 3-6 months. Some of the longer-lasting fillers, e.g. Calcium hydroxylapatite, can cause lumps, which is why they are not supposed to be used in the lips. Ditto liquid silicone, which can cause permanent lumps. Your friend will have to find out what it was from whoever did the injecting.
