Suggest Treatment To Get Rid Of Acne On The Chin
Hi Dr. I am female, 27 years old. I got married 2 months back and since then I am having acne on my chin. They are like small pimples with white heads and most importantly I can feel a hard base on my chin from the inside. You can call it like a block of something. I never had acne before at all, not even in periods. I dont know what to do about it and I am worried about it,

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have acne on the chin which occurs because of infection of bacteria when clogged pores gets filled with sebum ,dead skin and bacteria get infected. Excessive exposure to sun is the other factor responsible for your condition. I would suggest you to use product containing benzoyl peroxide. You should apply sun screen Such as TAN CARE rich in SPF 26. Drink 8-9 glasses of water daily and add fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. You should apply aloe vera gel on scars and apply vitamin E oil on face at night before going to bed. Apply azelaic acid containing cream twice a day. You should avoid oily, sharp and spicy food. You should wash your face with mild soap and cold water twice a day , exfoliate your face once a week. If condition doesn't start getting better in a month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics course .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
