I've been dealing with some pretty bad acne and breakouts on my face, shoulders, and back since I had chickenpox about three years ago. Before that, I never really had any issues with acne, so I'm super frustrated. I went to a bunch of doctors and tried different creams and tablets, but nothing seems to work. It's been a few years now, and every time one breakout heals, another one pops up. Could this be connected to the way the chickenpox was treated back then, or is there something else going on? I'm really worried because my face is a mess right now and I'm not sure what else to do. Any advice or solutions for dealing with acne after chickenpox?

I shaved my head and noticed some white patches on my scalp. The skin seems normal without any crusting, and I don't feel any itching or pain. These spots just look like they've lost their color. There's no hair loss or discoloration in the hair itself. Could this possibly be vitiligo?
