Dark spot on lower lip.
I'm 15 years old and for the past few months i have had a dark spot on my lower lip. It is not painful, it does not bleed and it has not grown in size or diameter. I am able to bite/peel it off and it will not bleed but it just grows back. In the mornings my lower lip is extremely dry and my whole lip has peeling skin covering it, and the edges of the dark spot also peel. I don't know what is wrong with it, can anyone help???

Hi,
The dark spot could be broken veins or capillaries. Was there any trauma to this particular area? Any other signs or symptoms present? Peeling lips, on the other hand, may be due to a lot of causes such as infection, allergic reaction or cheilitis. If your condition persists, it would be helpful to have it evaluated by your doctor for proper management.
