I'm really concerned because my 26-year-old daughter-in-law just noticed a white patch on her back. Her father has vitiligo, and I'm worried it might be related. Could this be a sign of vitiligo too, and what should we do next?

I've been using Clindac A face wash for my grade 1 acne for almost 3 months now, but I'm still getting some breakouts. I'm supposed to finish this treatment by November 5th. Should I keep using it, or is it time to try something new? And if I should switch, do you have any recommendations for a good face wash that could help?
Since your acne situation has improved but you are still experiencing breakouts, it may be beneficial to switch to a different face wash. You can try using a face wash containing benzoyl peroxide, such as "Benzac AC Gel" in a suitable concentration for your skin type. It is effective in treating acne and preventing future breakouts. Remember to follow the dosage instructions provided on the product packaging.
