I'm dealing with this painful boil where my moustache is, and it's causing my whole lip area to swell up. There's pus that has formed sort of like a bump on my lips. What could be causing this, and how should I go about treating it?

I've been noticing that my lips have gotten quite dark recently, and it's starting to worry me a bit. I've heard that vitamin B12 might help with this. Is that true, and could you recommend a specific tablet or supplement that I should try for this issue? I'm really hoping to find a good solution.
For dark lips, you can consider taking Vitamin B12 supplements. One tablet you can use is Neurobion, which contains Vitamin B12. The recommended dosage is one tablet per day.
