Spots on laundry after washing?

Yes, acne medicine will leave those marks. Often, acne medicine contains hydrogen peroxide, which is basically bleach. So it will leave spots on any colors it touches. Bleach removes the color, so there’s no way to fix it.

If this is happening frequently, someone ahead of you is probably using one of these products. I would keep an old towel/T-shirt/rag handy and wipe down the counter and washing machine before doing my laundry.

I’m also careful at home when I do do a load with bleach that the next load is something that will not be harmed by bleach, just in case there is anything left in the washer.
