How Do Doctors Determine the Cause of Persistent Dark Lips?
1 month ago
I’ve tried scrubs, balms, and home remedies for my dark lips, but nothing seems to change the base color. How do dermatologists determine whether pigmentation is due to genetics, dehydration, or something like smoking or hormonal issues?

Dermatologists examine the depth, pattern, and colour of the pigmentation while also reviewing lifestyle habits and medical history. Genetic pigmentation usually appears evenly, while lifestyle-related darkening is patchy or concentrated.
Based on the cause, they decide whether hydration treatments, lifestyle changes, or laser-based therapies are required. This targeted approach gives results far better than home remedies.
