White, de-pigmented skin Posted: 03-05-07 14:04pm


I have a white circular mark on my outer lower lip that kinda looks like a blister. Its painless and doesn't bother me. I am 21 years old and have had it since I can remember. It seems like it may be getting larger. Do you have any idea what it may be or how i could get rid of it?

Given the description of a “white circular mark on the skin from the childhood”, you could be experiencing a de-pigmented skin area. De-pigmented skin grows because you are growing. If you've acquired congenital de-pigmentation, this condition can’t be cured and doesn’t need to be cured. Nonetheless, you may consult a dermatologist about the white circular mark for a true diagnosis. DISCLAIMER: "Ask a Doctor" Questions are answered by Dr. Nikola Gjuzelov, General Practitioner.
