The round spots, although a picture of them would be essential to understand the underlying cause, could be generally speaking caused by an infection or eventually even a toxic. Please write to use the name of the product you use so we can check if toxic. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
