Could the pimples I have been getting on my face, around my nose, and in my hair for the past two months be a side effect of my current treatments?Meloset 3MG tablets, Zinfate tablets, and targeted light therapy (phototherapy)?which I am taking after recovering from a skin color-loss condition (vitiligo)?
Yes, your current vitiligo treatments could potentially contribute to these pimple-like breakouts. Targeted light therapy (phototherapy) can sometimes cause mild skin irritation, heat rash, or inflamed hair follicles (folliculitis) on your face and scalp. While Meloset (melatonin) and Zinfate (zinc sulfate) are generally less likely to cause acne, minor skin reactions can still occur. Please rest assured that this is a common and manageable issue. I highly recommend discussing this with your dermatologist so they can safely evaluate your skin and comfortably adjust your phototherapy sessions.
