Suggest Treatment For Acne Scars On Chin And Cheeks
I have large acne postules around my chin and cheeks. When they pop brown or clear liquid comes out. Should I see my dermatologist? This has now been going on for a month and they are painful. I thought it was just stress at first. I have never had acne before and I m 31.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne postules on chin and cheeks which is due to infection of skin sebaceous glands. It could be due to excessive exposure to allergens such as dust, mist and due to hormonal changes. I would suggest you to use product containing benzoyl peroxide. You should wash your face daily with cold water and face wash containing salycylic acid twice a day and apply cream containing azelac acid. Exfoliate your face once a week , apply aloe vera gel. Drink 8-9 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe laser therapy and chemical peeling.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
