A few years ago I noticed some dark spots on my lip. I went to my dermo who suggested I do laser. I was unsure so we decided to do a test on one of thr two dark spots. It made things worse so I recieved a lip blush or whats called a lip neutralization. I’m happy with the color but the dark spots still bother me. Is there anything I can do?
