Pigmentation/Melasma moustache??

2023-09-16 10:24:24
The skin above my upper lips on both ends are more darker giving it a moustache look, even though there's no hair. Its not painful either. I'm embarassed and have to cover it with makeup everytime I go out. Not sure what's the reason. I do either threading on my upper lips or remove hair with tweezers every few weeks. The only medication I'm on is thyroid 12.5, but this started way before that. How do I treat this and make the patchy moustache look go away?
