I've been struggling with pimples and acne ever since I had chicken pox three years ago. I never had any skin issues before that, so I'm wondering if my chicken pox wasn't treated properly back then and if that's why I'm still breaking out. I'm really good with my diet and I work out regularly, but nothing seems to stop these breakouts. Could the chicken pox be the cause, and what can I do about it?

That might not be chicken po,that could be pemphigous disease,visit Dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I've had this white spot on my right ankle for about four months now, and it's not getting any bigger. My doctor mentioned it might be vitiligo. I'm really hoping there's a way to treat it. Do you know of any available cures or treatments?

While vitiligo currently doesn't have a permanent cure, there are several treatment options to help manage the condition and improve the appearance of the skin. It's essential to work closely with your healthcare provider to find the treatment plan that works best for you. Keep in mind that results may vary, and a combination of treatments may be needed.
