I have a raised dark spot on my upper lip - what could this be? (photo)

It's difficult to pinpoint the area you have concerns over. Hyperpigmentation can be improved with a combination of lasers, Aerolase, microneedling/prp, skin lightening, peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (EmerageSkin roller with anteage AERIFY MD ampules weekly. Sun protection is essential. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an acne scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question! I am unsure what your baseline photos look like but it could just be a sun spot. If not, it could also be hyperpigmentation from a bruise if you bruised at all. I would try doing a chemical peel such as the VIpeel and pre-treating your skin with a cream called lytera twice a day for 2 weeks prior to the peel and 2 weeks after as well. Hope this helps!

Appears to be a skin discoloration that could be treated with laser or deep chemical peeling. Seek a cosmetic derm or plastic surgeon.
