Hi.
As per your case history of pimple on chin, my treatment advice is -
1. Retinol is mild irritant, so it may cause redness after applying on lesion.
2. Apply a clindamycin gel like Glocin twice daily on it.
3. Don't squeeze the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
4. Other treatment options are oral doxycyline, azithromycin and vitamin supplements taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
