View allI'm struggling with these holes from past pimples on my face, and they just won't seem to go away. I've also got these whiteheads on my nose that are really stubborn. I'm really curious if there are any home remedies you could recommend to help with these issues. Would love to hear what you think!
You can try using a topical retinoid cream such as Retin-A. Apply a pea-sized amount to the affected areas at night. This can help improve skin texture and promote collagen production to fill in the indentations over time. To get rid of whiteheads on the nose, you can try using products containing salicylic acid. A good option is Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash, which contains salicylic acid to help unclog pores and reduce whiteheads. Use it as a face wash once or twice daily. Additionally, you can make a homemade face mask using honey and cinnamon. Mix one tablespoon of honey with half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder and apply it to your face. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off with warm water. Honey has antibacterial properties, while cinnamon can help improve blood circulation to the skin. Remember to patch test any new products or ingredients on a small area of skin to check for any adverse reactions before applying them to larger areas of the face.

I'm noticing that the skin around my thigh and under the testicles is changing color, sometimes getting darker and at other times looking pale. I've been using Candid B cream and baby powder to keep the area dry, but it doesn't seem to be improving. Should I be worried about these changes in skin color? Is there something else I should be doing?

I've had vitiligo for the past three months and I'm really worried can stress actually cause it? Also is surgery an option to treat my patches? They're spreading and I don't know what to do
Yes, stress can play a role in both the development and progression of vitiligo. While not the direct cause, stress can trigger or worsen vitiligo in individuals who are genetically predisposed or have other risk factors. Surgery, including skin grafting or melanocyte transplantation, is a treatment option for vitiligo, particularly for areas with stable disease and where other methods have not been effective
