Small Tiny Rice Grains That Sit In The Skin That Is All Over The Chin

My problem is like small tiny rice grains that sit in the skin. They are no bigger than 1 or 2 millimetres wide. They are like tiny blackheads but without the black tip on top.

They are not inflammed and they do not puss. They are ALL over the chin (from the edge of the lip to the bottom of the chin) and around my nose and inbetween my eyebrows. I get some on my forehead but NOT quite in the same coverage like my chin.

I feel my chin is disgusting to look at. When i touch my chin i feel it is like touching fine sandpaper - as these grains are all over and there is no smoothness to my chin.

I could sit in the mirror all day and try to individually pull each one out, but they will just come back days later. I am just as clueless as you. It bothers me terribly and i wont let anyone get close to my face or touch my nose because it feels like sandpaper.

Have any natural face pack to get rid of it?

I understand your frustration. This is white heads and comedones which can even fprm milia. What you need is a medical cleanup. I would suggest don't touch your skin and do it with a professional.it is due to hormones and is normal. Consult a doc if needed.
