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?
