I had beautiful skin when I was younger until like 15, i dont know what happened (of course puberty) but this was crazy its like i woke up one day with dark discolorations around my oral area. I dont know what from my diet hasnt changed, i still use the same soap and i'm a very clean person. for example i'll wash my face with a white cloth and nothing would come off two times a day.
I have tried so many treatments for discolorations u name it.
the crazy thing about it is its not permanat because one day my skin will be light then the next dark. it really confuses me and ultimately makes me angry because i really dont have a social life, well to a certain extent.
It all boils down to me i'm a very attractive girl minus the discoloration but its hard to get a date because most dudes cant look pass that.
Everyday i wish i could go back to the times when i had flawless skin
if i did my life would be so different.

This certainly might not be the answer, but you might look into acid reflux or allergies. I know they seem dissimilar, but I've dealt with rashes around my mouth for many years now. I know it's not a cold sore because sometimes it's gone within a day. I recently had a pretty bad outbreak after eating a lot of grapefruit so I'm starting to reconsider acid reflux. So far I've only tried tums which seems to have worked. Ideally I would talk with your doctor and go through a process of elimination. If it's a true rash or allergic reaction you might try some cortisone cream, claritin, or zyrtec. Also consider All "free and clear" laundry detergent. Just some ideas. Take care.
