Try: Hydrquinone creame. Don't know if you can get it in England without a prescription but ask at the cosmetic counter!

Other if not hair: Vaniqa, as already mentioned, does well for hair growth. It is a little pricey and must be continued to maintain control of hair, but does well. If the darkness isn't actually hair, but more pigment, then hydroquinone cream is a prescription cream that can be used to lighten up areas of abnormal darkness on the skin. Hope this helps.

Dont be embarrassed: Doctors deal with all sorts of issues, things much more embarrassing than upper lip discoloration. We are trained to be compassionate and respectful, and we always keep your issues confidential. Talk to your doctor or a dermatologist to see what can be done.
