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?

View allI'm 11 weeks and 4 days into my pregnancy and I'm wondering if it's okay to get threading done on my eyebrows and upper lip at this stage. Is it safe for me and the baby?
Threading during early pregnancy is generally considered safe. Since you're 11 weeks and 4 days pregnant, you can opt for threading as a hair removal method for your eyebrows and upper lip. However, it's essential to take some precautions to minimize potential risks. Make sure to find a skilled and experienced threading technician who follows proper sanitation and hygiene procedures. Some benefits of threading include its precision, gentleness on the skin, and ability to remove even the tiniest hairs. Additionally, threading doesn't involve the use of chemicals, making it a relatively safe option during pregnancy. Before undergoing threading, inform your technician about your pregnancy. Although threading is generally safe, it's crucial to be cautious and aware of any potential risks or complications.

I've got these dark spots and areas of darker skin on my bum, plus some stretch marks, and while I'm usually confident about my body, these things make me feel a bit uncomfortable. Could you help me figure out a solution?
The dark spots and dark skin around them may be due to hyperpigmentation. You can use a cream containing hydroquinone and tretinoin to lighten the dark spots. Apply it once at night for a few weeks. For the stretch marks, you can use a cream containing retinoids and hyaluronic acid to improve their appearance. Remember to use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin."

I'm noticing that the skin on my face is unevenly toned. The area from my forehead to my nose is fair, but everything below my nose is darker. What could be causing this, and is there a treatment that can help even out my skin tone?
This condition is known as hyperpigmentation, where certain areas of the skin produce more melanin, leading to darker patches. To treat this, you can use a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid. Apply a thin layer on the dark areas once daily, preferably at night. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day can help prevent further darkening of the skin.
