What's the dark spot on my skin?

In the summer, the skin above my lip gets darker than the rest of my skin and looks like a moustache. What is it and how do I make it go away?

    It's called melasma and is usually caused by birth control pills and exposure to sun. Stay out of the sun and see a dermatologist for some hydroquinolone cream that will bleach it. You can't get anything strong enough without a prescription.

The skin represents our health and our beauty at the same time. This is why we want to keep it as good looking and healthy as possible.

    Do you take birth control pills? Sometimes they can make dark places on your skin which appear darker when you tan. I am old and still have them on my face from when I took them. One large area on the side of my face. If I get a tan, it looks much darker. Other than that, you may have to see a dermatologist to determine if it could be a fungus or some allergic reaction

    I recommend you see a dermatologist. There are prescription creams that can fade the spot. Use sun block under your make up and it will fade. This is a pigmentation problem that can come from birth control pills and other causes.

    Hunn, i don't think you can. i have freckles that i cant see when its winter fall or spring. but in the summer they get really dark. i think that you have a huge freckle above your lip that gets dark when your in the sun thats all.

    theres a way to lighten the appearance of freckles,

    all you have to do it rub a lemon on your face,

    that should reduce that appearance of it.

    and dont worry about it Hunn, if other people dont like it, than they dont have to look at you. ok sweetie?
