dark circle around lips
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

Miliarial rash of different types.M.rubra the red one,M.crystellina,the white one and m.pustulosa the infected one.But they get ok with therapy advised.Best wishes.
hello,
but its not red all the time..i thought heat rash looks really red all the time..otherwise she is itching badly on the back of the neck and upper back a lot especially in the evenings..rest of the time no one can see it but it feels bumpy on hands.

Miliaria rubra it is.Calamine lotion helps.Cetzine syrup 1tsp should do fine.
hello,
as i have written before my daughter has broken out some kind of rash all over her body...it looks like heat rash.. when it starts itching it goes red..it is realy uncomfortable...it settles after puting moisturizer for a while other wise its feels like goose bumps.what can this be?
