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

Hello,
Got hold off the OTC Antihistamine called piriton syrup...chlorphenamine maleate...after talking to pharmasist ..is it right kind?..and have started from the last night..its a drowsy kind so all of us had a peaceful night...how many days should we give this to her...till the rash goes.??
Thanks for your advice.

Antihistamine should control the rash well,no harm in using a moisturizer though.

I took my daughter to GP today after really uncomfortble night of itching and she was using loo quite frequently about eight times in two hrs.this has been going on for a week .GP told me that the rash is due to dry skin???and asked me to moisturize a lot...i am bit sceptical about this...is it possible to have goose bump like rash due to dry skin...its all over her body even in her private parts...other than this she seems to be fine.we have given urine sample to rule out infection as well.
