Lip pigmentation: looking for a causal relationship
Pigmentation on the lips should be taken very seriously, as in most cases it can be an indicator of serious diseases.
For example, the most common cause of age spots on the lips is chloasma. Basically, this cosmetic defect bothers women only during pregnancy and disappears on its own after childbirth.
But if the woman is not pregnant, the appearance of chloasma may indicate a malfunction of the ovaries, adrenal glands or liver.

In addition, spots in the lip area may be the result of progressive degeneration of benign or malignant cells of the mucous membrane.
If the newly appeared spots on the lips are small, they may be seborrheic cysts (Fordyce granules).
The combination of mucosal and skin pigmentation may be indicative of a more serious condition called Peutz-Eigers syndrome. Concomitant changes are polyposis changes in the mucous membrane of the stomach and small intestine.
