I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed these white patches on the skin around my scrotum, penis, and thigh. It's been about 1.5 years since I first saw them, and luckily they haven't grown in size, but the area feels slightly numb. Do you think I should be worried, and what might be causing this?

I've just threaded my upper lip for the first time and now there's this weird white patch against my brown skin. It's really upsetting me. Bleaching hasn't helped at all, and I'm worried that if the hair grows back, it'll be thicker and darker, which then seems like I'll have to deal with this all over again. What should I do to get rid of this white patch? Any advice?

I've noticed some small pimples around my vaginal area and tried using cuticare ointment, but it hasn't helped. I'm wondering if it's okay to use boroplus on that area?

I'm noticing that the skin around my thigh and under the testicles is changing color, sometimes getting darker and at other times looking pale. I've been using Candid B cream and baby powder to keep the area dry, but it doesn't seem to be improving. Should I be worried about these changes in skin color? Is there something else I should be doing?
