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 been on Total Nano Leo for a week now, and I'm having this weird itching and burning around my outer anal area. Could the powder be causing this? What's up with that?

Could be due to a possible allergic reaction or irritation. I recommend stopping the powder and consulting a doctor. You can try using a topical cream like Preparation H to relieve the itching and burning sensation. Apply a small amount externally around the anal area twice a day for relief.

I've recently discovered a lump under the skin on my mons pubis. It's not really painful at all, but it does hurt a bit when I touch it. Should I be concerned about this? What could it possibly be?

The lump you are describing could be a swollen lymph node, an ingrown hair, or a cyst. To help reduce any inflammation or pain, you can try using over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. If the lump persists or becomes more painful, it is important to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
