Dark Tanning Moustache Coloration

This has been my second time tanning this week and I got this dark moustache color above my upper lip!! Im so freaked out right now what do I do, I read about everyones "white spots" but have not heard too much of this dark coloration that looks like a moustache, I heard it was from birth control while tanning & yes I am on the pills but now how do I get rid of this? can I still tan the rest of my body and use sunscreen on my face? This is freaking me out I feel embrassed about this especially looking at myself makes me feel self conscience!! Please help me!!

Hello,
This pigmentation can be due to increased melanin production. Generally, this type of pigmentation resolves gradually and needs no attention. However, you can use cosmetic preparation that have demelanizing contents or seek a guidance of a dermatologist. Alternately, you have the option of cosmetic laser therapy to help you look better,

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
