My lips have darken within the past months dermatologist said might be hormones on sun danmage said it is nothing i can do to lighten them back, is it?

Depends on cause: Treatment would depend on the cause. If it is related to sun exposure sunblock would help. It is possible to use topical vitamin c to lighten the pigment as well. Seek a second opinion.
