How can I get rid of dark skin above my upper lip?

I'm 15 and i started shaving at 13. About 6 months ago i noticed my skin in the area i shave was getting darker (mustache area). Even right after I shave, and i have absolutely no hair above my upper lip, it's still dark. How can i make that skin the same color as the rest of my face?

How long will it take for my mustache to grow?

I am 14 and I have a bit of hair on the sides of my upper lip. How long should it take for a decent mustache to grow in? My hair (the hair on my head) is very thick and grows quickly if that counts for anything.

How do I get rid of dark skin around my mouth/chin?

My skin is naturally light, however, the skin above my upper lip and my chin area are darker than the rest of my face. How can I get rid of this dark area?

I tried powder/concealer, but it's still noticeable.
Are there any home remedies I can try?

Blackhead problems, please help?

I know that blackheads are created by oil and dirt on your skin but I need some help. I try to wash my face at least once a day but generally twice a day. I still have blackheads everywhere. They are all over my face. They are on my chin, upper lip, nose, and my cheeks. They are basically everywhere on my face except my forehead. I have tried the clean and clear blackhead eraser and although it does help, it doesn't help enough. I have also been to a dermatologist and I have medicine that helps clear up my acne. It doesn't really help with blackheads though. Does anyone know of a way I can get rid of the blackheads? I've tried so many things including face masks. Nothing seems to work. Are there any products that might help? Is there anything that I can easily make at home to use? I am not really looking for an overnight fix I am just looking for something that will gradually clear up my blackheads.

Which spot treatment is the best for acne?

I recently broke out a lot, on my upper lip, my chin and one on both sides of my cheek... I bought two spot treatments hoping it would help out a little. I bought one from Neutrogena, it says "On-the-Spot acne treatment" and that it's a "vanishing cream" and "benzoyl peroxide acne medication" and that it is dermatologist recommended. The second one I bought was from "AcneFree severe" Terminator 10. It says it's the "most powerful acne medication available without prescription" ... Help?..Let me know which one you think would work best

How long will a swollen upper lip due to allergies last?

My upper lip started swelling last night for no apparent reason. I already took 3 antihistamines through the course of the time from last night to right now (3 tables spread throughout about 18 hours) but the swelling won't go away. I've also applied an ice pack to it,and still no progress.

How long should an upper lip swelling due to allergies last? My upper lip usually swells when I cry but it usually goes away after a few hours or so. It never lasts this long.

17 Male 5"3 Growth Spurt?

i understand that height comes from your genes.

My mum is 5 foot and my dad is 5 foot 7

There are relatives in my family that are quite tall 5"9+

as i am 17 will i experience a "growth spurt" anytime soon?

if so how long will this spurt take to reach its end and how will i know that i am growing?

Also i dont look very mature for my age. People my age look alot more mature then what i do, i can still get away with "child" when catching the bus. (child is the price you pay if you are,look, under 16) i have grown facial hair but only on my upper lip.... i have not got sideburns like my friends have, would this make a difference in anyway?

i read somewhere that exercise stimulates the human growth hormone (hGH) i have recently started working out, i am some what overweight (158 pounds) my workout consiststs of cardio and weight lifting and i am on a calorie intake cut.

(edit ^^^ i now weigh 141 pound and am not overweight anymore)

i am experiencingng slight pains in my knees some times in the lower part and that next day in the upper part that connects to my thigh. is this Growth related?

its started since ive been working out. i started in january they were quite strong back then but they died out in say 3 weeks and now i am experiecing the same again, the doctor said it may be growth related, it is at its most strongest when i am just about to go to sleep.

also how long does it take a human bone to grow say an inch?

any information would be very helpful

Regards

i forgot to mension that i was about 14 and a half wen i started expericing changes in my body and i grew from 5" to the height i am now, i have not grown since late 15
