I'm noticing that every time I thread my upper lip, a white patch shows up that's lighter than my normal skin color. I've talked to a doctor online who recommended using Placentrex cream twice a day. I'm curious about how to get my skin back to its usual color. Also, I have an iron deficiencycould that be causing this? What should I do next?

I've just found a small lump in my inner left thigh. It's pretty noticeable and I can feel it when I touch the area. It's a bit under an inch around and oddly, it doesn't hurt. Who do you think I should talk to about this? Any idea what might be going on?
