A member asked:
The area around my mouth is dark and itchy/painful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple causes: It could be due to a contact allergy such as allergy to a toothpaste, a vitamin deficiency, constant licking or other cause. Try changing toothpaste. A dermatologist could help resolve it quickly.
