Step 1 see hyperpigmentation and suddenly can also be due to food irritants as well specially pesticides.
Step 2 get cbc , folate and vit levels report .
Step 3 if all reports normal . It's most probably just contact dermantits/allergic reaction to irritants .
If it doesn't resolve in next 2 month , then it's also not due to accidental trauma to lips.
Step 4 if possible plz share picture with us for better opinion over it.
