A member asked:
Why do i have such pale, bluish lips instead of bright pink?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blue lips: Most commonly, blue lips are caused by a lack of oxygen in the blood. This may happen when you are at high altitude or if you are choking, or it may be due to chronic underlying conditions such as lung diseases or chronic heart defects. See your local doctor.
