How to Get Rid of Lip Discoloration-african American?

My top lip is dark brown and my bottom lip is pink... I like the color of my top lip and would like the bottom a darker so they match. It makes me self concious. For the most part they have always been like that and its never been an issue to me until now... I think its ugly. How to permanently fix this is even them out without constantly applying gloss

Lip Discoloration

Thank you for your question. You can use sunscreen with SPF 30 and zinc oxide to prevent your top lip from becoming darker. You should consult with a board certified dermatologist who may recommended bleaching creams that could help to lighten up the discoloration such as Hydroquinone. Be certain to be under the supervision of a board certified dermatologist for the most effective and safe treatment options. I hope this helps.
