skin changes-LAYED OFF 4 OVER A YR/HLF

Within this week 10/10-16, Ive seen the corners of my mouth get lighter. The size of the discoloration is, 3rd the size of a dime on the rt corner. but today I took a nap and woke up with a small amount of lightness discoloration on the left corner of my mouth. WHT CLD THIS BE? I DONT HAV INSURANCE 2 GO 2 DR BC IM LAYED OFF.Im 36yrs old. I work out at the gym 6 days out of the week. I drink water 90% of the time. Ive been layed off work, for over a yr, but i have not been stressed. i wash my face almost twice a day with a generic brand cetaphil and biore blemish fighting ice cleanser. i have been using both these products since July 2010. i started having acne  break outs happen in my old age. so i tried these products and the biore appeared to work. ive always used cetaphil, but i changed to generic brand for cost benefits. ive never had ezema..but my sister has it. i have started eating lots of protein in the form of fish, chix, peanut butter on wheat, black beans(most of my meat is preseasoned from sams club - samon,tilapia, brocolli stuff chicken, turkey bacon).the corners of my mouth dont feel dry tho and im a virgin. i make a point not to rest my hands on my face and this has been since the late 90's.Could u please help me figure out whats goin on? Thank you!

Since you have changed your diet recently this might be the problem. You could be having an allergic reaction to something. You've changed to a generic brand of face cleanser so that might be a problem also. Have you changed your toothpaste recently?   Remar
