Hi, I'm a senior in high school. I've been playing tuba since the eighth grade and other brass instruments since the fifth grade. Over the past two years I've noticed that the skin right above my lips has either been discolored or scarred so now it's noticeably darker than the surrounding skin. It's a semicircle in the shape of my mouthpiece where my mouthpiece rests on my mouth when playing. Is this a serious problem? If so, what should I do about it? If not, will it ever go away? If you need pictures of the area, please ask. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you VERY MUCH.
