What Could Acnes With Puss During Menses Suggest?

I have been getting acne on my chin and mouth area everytime my menstruation is going to start, actually a few weeks before. They are on the corner of my mouth or the lip line. When I get rid of one because it comes to a head and becomes painful, another one shows up next to it. Is this acne or herpes? They do not appear on my lips. But they look like little craters once the, i guess, puss comes out and ooze clear that becomes crusty and pinchy.

Hello,
Thank you for posting on HealthcareMagic.
I appreciate your concern regarding Acne and i will try to answer your queries in best possible way.

Acne, as you must be aware is a pretty common condition affecting majority people during adolescence and early adulthood.
It is caused chiefly due to hormonal influence and clogging of pores and followed by infection and inflammation.

It has tendency for recurrence and complications like pigmentation and scarring, thus mandates proper treatment at the earliest.

Treatment usually depends on severity of of acne and for the accurate grading you need a proper examination by a dermatologist or atleast you can share your pics in a direct question, so i can advise you in a better way.

Usually I advise proper course of oral antibiotics (Azithromycin etc) with or without oral isotretinoin for few months. Additionally, I advise use of a cream containing nadifloxacin/clindamycin twice day and a gel containing benzoyl peroxide and adapalene for few months. This combination of benzoyl peroxide and adapalene is one of the recent advances in the treatment of acne and has wonderful results if used in a right way. Your local doctor will know about these drugs.

Apart from home-based treatment, I also advise procedures like chemical peeling and laser and light therapy for patients having severe acne and associated complications like pigmentation and scarring.

Use good quality face wash and a moisturizer on regular basis.

Avoid junk food as far as possible and include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet.

Hope this will take care of your condition.

I would suggest you to share your pictures in a direct question and if you wish to contact me in future for any question kindly use the following link:
