Answer:

Hi Laina, you might want to try the lemon and bath oil combination first (1:1) as a lightening solution around the mouth. Do this every bedtime for 2-3 weeks.

Only a doctor can diagnose if you indeed lack iron, but can be one of the causes as well. The simplest solution is in your kitchen - an apple a day.

When all else fails, there is a skin whitening cream that might work for you. Try Diana Stalder Lightening Cream and apply once a day at bedtime.

Remember, the skin around the mouth area is somehow sensitive, so when you start to feel some itching or dryness (which are normal), do not rub skin to avoid further darkening. Moisturize regularly.

Hope it works for you. :)
