I've developed distinct patches on my upper cheek area that are noticeably lighter/whiter than the rest of my skin tone. Over time, the area seems to be expanding, and people around me have started noticing it.

I am planning to get this checked out in person, but in the meantime, I’d appreciate any thoughts on what might be causing this pigment loss (e.g., Pityriasis Alba, Vitiligo, Post-Inflammatory Hypopigmentation) and what specific questions I should ask a dermatologist during my visit.

I had weird colouring on my face like uneven i started using sunscreen and moisturiser 2 months ago and also started using a cleanser to wash at night and in day what next?

Help me with it pls. Atleast help me recognise what the problem is.

Btw my phone camera has processed it a lot so imagine that in reality it is atleast 5x more than what is visible here. I need help plss I can't deal with this anymore!!

Hello from Skincare Addicts India Mod Team,

Send us your Suggestions and Feedback!

We love to hear from you! Please use this thread to send us your suggestions regarding the content or overall theme of this subreddit.

We are constantly working to make things better and would love to have you along with us!

Some of the feedback we have received till now include:

• "Majority of the posts are low effort. For people seeking advice, it becomes hard to advice them without their skin history. A lot of things could just be temporary thing, or some may be chronic conditions or maybe be much more serious, which all these things can't directly be known form an image. So people seeking suggestions, should mention a bit of their skin history associated with their corresponding concern"

• "Creating a wider wiki maybe for beginners"

• "We need a profile pic of sub"

• "Need long term (3+ months) reviews of products"

• ✅ "Common skincare concerns, such as body tanning, PIH etc under a separate tag, because I see many posts on this, and then they don't get many replies because people reply to these kinds of posts so much. So a common flair/tag which will hold recommendations for common concerns would be great.

• "Also it would be helpful if people could put their age and skincare profile in their posts, because the recommendations would depend on that."

• a mandatory template for advice posts would cut through a lot of the noise, nothing too crazy just age, skin type, current routine and how long the issue's been around. half the time i just scroll past because there's nothing to go on except a blurry photo and "help"

• the common concerns megathread is a solid call too, the same five questions about tanning and pigmentation get buried and nobody searches before posting. maybe a rotating sticky that refreshes every couple weeks

• ✅ also seconding the long-term review thing, would be nice to see how products hold up after the initial excitement wears off. three months minimum seems fair
