Black lips or having very dark colored
lips is contributed by several factors and can be used as indicators for
certain conditions that are happening inside the body. Though very rare, there
are certain severe medical conditions that can cause the lips to turn a darker
shade or even black like having cancer.
Black lips can be contributed by
living a modern lifestyle, certain eating habits, and some medications and
other things like-
- Frequent drinking of hot beverages
that contain caffeine like coffee and any kind of hot tea.
- Constant biting and licking of the
lips.
- Iron levels of the body can contribute
in making the lips black. When there is an increase or overflow of iron
levels in the body, this will usually show in the lip area and can be
observed when it turns black.
- Low vitamin B levels.
- Change in hormonal levels that are
contributed by age, infection, diseases, and other factors.
- Smoking.
- Certain toothpaste brands and lip
medications along with other kinds of medications used to treat diseases
and infection.
- Improper dental fixtures can also
cause lips to darken but very rarely.
- Allergic reactions and injuries.
