Question : About a week before my period is due I get a dark line across the top of my lip . It looks like a moustache and only fades slightly when my period is over . What causing it ?
Answer : There is a condition called chloasma , which is an increased pigmentation of the skin of the face and other parts of the body . It is often associated with pregnancy , but also with women talking the oral contraceptive pill . The places it appears are on the upper lip , across the forehead , round the nipples and in a straight line stretching down from the navel . The only way to treat it is to stop taking the Pill or disguise the line with make up .
