Hello,
Consider Iron deficiency Anemia as first cause of your condition. If associated tiredness, pale face and palms, breathlessness,H/O menorrhagia or excessive menstrual bleeding or hypothyroidism even confirms the cause
Second can be any allergy to lipbalms or lip colors if there is any recent change of products could be another cause
For proper evaluation, photographs and detailed history required
Next Steps
Consult online to know cause and treatment
Health Tips
- Drink lot of water as dehydration could be added factor
- Try eating nutritious diet
- Avoid any product on lips
- Overnight application of coconut oil might help in dryness if not paleness

Need to evaluate you for colour change through online consultation. Sometimes usage of lip cosmetics also causes a dyspigmentation
