Aa
Lip is disappearing
About a month ago i noticed a area on my upper lip has turned 'skin colored' or whiteish, white. I can see the line where there should be full pigment but is it becoming less visable and seems to be dissappearing. The area is about 1-2 centimeters long and thin, the area that is disappearing is on the border of where the lips and skin meet. It looks as though there is a indent of no pigment in my lip. I am baffled as to what this could be and have been obcessing over it since i am afraid it will be permanent. It sometimes feels as if the area is pulsing and is quite annoying which makes me even more self concious. It appears that, the part of that lip is losing blood or something of that nature? Please any advice or help would be greatly appreciated as to what this is. Thanks in advance. P.s. i don't think it is sun damage because i am only 17.
Mucosal areas take comparitively more time to pigment,nothing more to be done in between.
