A member asked:
Why is the skin around my mouth white?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Discoloration: Whitening of the skin can be from irritation causing inflammation that can result in pigment loss. If the loss is partial and mild, it can be restored in most cases. However, if the loss is more severe as in vitiligo , then complete restoration may be less realistic.
