Question
My child’s lips were normal at birth, but over the past two years, I’ve noticed that they have gradually turned purple and they have been breathing rapidly. I’m worried about my child’s health and would like to know the possible causes.
Answer
Black lips in children could be caused by pigment deposition or related cardiopulmonary issues. If parents notice this condition, they should immediately take their child to the doctor for a detailed examination to ensure timely treatment and avoid missing the best treatment window.
