Acne Spots On Chin, Dry, Flaky, Itches, Sheds, Bleeds When Scratched. Treatment?
I have had three acne spots on my chin for over four months. It gets dry and flaky, itches, sheds, and starts all over again. If I scratch it, it bleeds. I have tried cetaphil, antibacterial soaps, other ointments, with antibiotic, still no improvements. I have never had skin problems before. Any new ideas for me to try?
