In Nov. and Dec. my lips got really chapped. After it healed, it left hypopigmentation (light spots, not darker spots) around my lips. I've searched on-line and there are a lot of sites about getting stuff to fixe hyperpig. but none about fixing hypopig.
Has anyone had this condition? What did you use? How about tanning lotions?
Medical help is my last resort becaues I go to school far from home and don't have time to see the family doctor.
Thanks to all that reply.

Surf the web for cosmetics for vitiligo. Vitiligo is hypopigmentation of the skin (white patches). There are a few on the web, such as Smart Cover, that are specially made to blend the white patches to your skin color and give great coverage. You also might try visiting a major department store cosmetic counter nearby. Sometimes they will sell the makeup for vitiligo.

In the case you mention, I don't beleive that the spots will be permanent. I know you feel badly about how they look, but in time, the light spots may disappear.
However, I know of one person who had their lips tattooed in order to alleviate discolorations.
