Ive usually been lucky with my skin and hardly ever get pimples, but when I do, they disappear in about 4-5 days. However, about 10 days ago, I got a pimple with pus on my right cheek, and its only gotten bigger and worse over time. I tried all sorts of things like ice, aloe vera, and even benzoyl gel, but nothing worked. I used tretinoin for a night, then tried putting white toothpaste on it for an hour and a half last night. It stung, so I thought it was working, but this morning I woke up with a smaller pimple and a huge dark brown spot that looks like a burn. Im worried itll scar because I work in entertainment and really want it gone asap. Im using aloe vera now to calm it down, but Im not sure what else I should do. Should I try a different cream or an ointment to help with the burn? Would love some advice!

I'm currently using Cuticapil hair serum and have been for about 6 months. I've seen some good results, but I'm considering stopping. I'm concerned that if I stop using it, my hair might start falling out again. Can you let me know what to expect?
If you want to stop it you can stop it but rather stopping it abruptly better do ween it,like making it thrice a week later twice aweek and soo.

How long does it usually take for vitiligo to spread? I've had these spots on my neck, leg, and hand for about four years now, and they haven't really changed in size. Should I be worried about them getting bigger or appearing in new places?
The spread of vitiligo varies from person to person. In some cases, the patches may remain stable in size and number for years, while in other cases, they may spread rapidly. Since you have had the spots for 4 years with the same size, it is possible that the condition may remain stable for you. To help prevent further spread of vitiligo, you can consider using topical corticosteroids like Clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas. Apply a thin layer of the cream twice daily for a few months to see improvement. Additionally, phototherapy with narrowband UVB light can also be beneficial in managing vitiligo. Remember to protect your skin from sun exposure as it can worsen the condition. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher on the affected areas when going outside.
