black blotches on lips

[rebecca111111]

hello, i was wondering if anyone has any idea what this could possibly be on my lips. I have been to the doctors with it and she didn’t have a clue what it could be which is typical😂

Are the areas of dryness to the right and left usual or new ? |Hyperpigmentation can be post inflammatory. An oral medicine specialist may be able to help . There is a wide range of possible causes, drug reactions, genetic , lichen planus etc.

I would go to the dentist, or back to the GP , and ask them to refer you to oral medicine
