dark circle around lips

[maya10]

My daughter who is 10 year old and has history of mild eczema maily on the hands developed very dry lips two weeks ago.First week we applyed E45 cream and it got better.
Next week while eating something spicy her lips flared up and again she suffred from dry chapped lips.she started licking her lips but may be 10 times a day..so we applied butter on her lips ..which was salted.
now her dry lips have been cured with no dryness or discomfort but she has devleoped perioral pigmentation ..which is dark circle around her lips..look like moustache
Gp has prescribed 1% hydrocortisone..but pigmentation is still very apparent and very dark.
what could be the cause of this.does this goes away?
We are from india.
My daughter is eating mangoes from last month but not allerigic  to them as she always have them in season.
Please respond

About ayurveda and other alternative methods I am not sure, and do not want to experiment  childs face,covered parts might have been worth a trial.

The pigment that has formed is carried away by cells known as macrophages, and it is a slow process.Depigmenting cremes are harsh and can lead to opposite results and I dare not use them,like hydroxyquinolones,azelaic acid etc.May be lasers are a good alternative.Best to visit a center like aiims,delhi-pigimer-chandigarh,st johns,bangalore where lasers are avaialable.

hello,
i know i have been bothering you will my constant questions but this time i need your advice due to family situation we will going to India in few weeks time..I have been told by my relatives constantly that there are many aurvedic treatments available for post inflammatory hyper pigmentation..are you aware of such treatments.
I am also planning to take second opinion of the dermatologist there as my dermatologist here have openly admitted that he has very less experience of treating Asian skin.Do derma in India treat hyper pigmentation aggressively due to cultural stigma attached to it.
What should i expect?i am not ready to treat this aggressively but got big dominating family what should i absolutely avoid??? you know how it somebodys relative got cured so can you daughter..sort of ****... you guidance will be much appreciated.
kind regards
