I'm 22 and I'm really struggling with open pores on my cheeks. It's becoming a major issue for me and I'm really worried about it. Is there a way to get rid of them permanently? I just want my face to look normal again. Can you suggest anything that might help?

I've noticed a discolored spot on my lower lip where my teeth usually bite it. Do you think this could be vitiligo, or is it just because of the biting? I'm a bit worried and not sure what to make of it.
