Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have chin lumps with redness and soreness which could be due to inflammatory acne like lesions, sebaceous cyst with recurrent infections and could be due to boil or furuncle. I would suggest you to visit dermatologist once and get it examined. Start treatment after proper examination and can get for drainage of infection in hair follicles. You should start with oral antibacterial medication such as Azithromycin. You should apply topical antiinflammatory gel such as nadifloxacin 1%, twice daily. If there is pain and inflammation around swellings take Ibuprofen on daily basis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
