 ERYTHEMA
It is the abnormal redness of the skin resulting from dilation of blood vessels (as in sunburn or inflammation), first degree burn.

ERYTHEMA SOLARE: Is the skin's inflammatory reaction the excessive ultraviolent radiation ( UV) from the sun or tanning beds causing redness (erythema), warmth, pain and sometimes blistering or peeling.

The redness happens because UV rays damage skin cells, triggering immune system to increase blood flow to the affected areas, making the skin red and inflamed. While simple sunburn is a temporary first degree burn, severe solar erythema can also form blisters (a second degree burn) and carries long term risk like skin aging or cancer.

Causes:
* UV radiation: specifically UVB rays from the sun or artificial sources attack the skin cells (Keratinocytes).
* Inflammatory response: Damaged cells release inflammatory substance, causing blood vessels to dilate, leading to redness.

Symptoms: 
* Red or reddish skin (that's hot to touch).
* Pain or tenderness.
* Swelling (Edema)
* Peeling or blistering in more severe cases.

Treatment:
Cool/cold compresses, aloe vera and other plant extracts that calms the inflammation and soothes the skin.

Prevention:
* Apply sunscream (apply every 2 hours)
* Protective clothing (when necessary)

 HYPER PIGMENTATION

Lips hyperpigmentation is a condition characterized by the darkening of the lips due to an increase in melanin production .

Melanin is the pigment responsible for the colour of the skin, hair and eyes. When it's production is heightened, it can lead to darker patches or overall darkening of the lips.

TRAUMA
Daily microtraumas to your lips can result from habits like licking or picking of them. Persistent licking of the lips elevates dryness. The salivary enzymes such as amylase and maltase wear down the lips skin, making it more vulnerable to dry air and increasing the risk of hyperpigmentation. 

SMOKING
Contributes to excess melanin production in the skin and lips. Substance like nicotine tar and benzopyrene stimulates melanocytes to enlarge resulting in increased melanin production.
Smoking damages elastic and collagen in the lips, which are responsible for maintaining elasticity, leading to the lips that appear dull and dry.

TREATMENTS
* Topical treatment
* Laser therapy
* Chemical pills
* Microneedling.
