Rusty

Hello all, for the past several years I have been having skin problems around the chin area. I only have acne break outs on my chin on any place of my face and over the years I have scars now from it. For the past several weeks I haven't had a pimple there but there is still a red discoloration on several spots. Here are some pictures and if anyone can help me out with any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

The red marks will fade away with time... usually in 6-12 months. You can also try some dermabrasion or skin peels.

I would also vote for Microdermabrasion. Try something with 2.5% BP for that area. It looks oil, so witch hazel might help also.

i think they go away

The worst is over. Peels and microdermabrasion is also what I would suggest.

Hi rusty ,your not alone! Check out Paulaschoice.com if you go into skincare facts she lists battle plans and products for every type of skin concern. You look like you may have sensitive and oily skin like me, her products have never broke me out or make mad me red. I'd recommend the normal to oily cleanser, moisture gel and the 1% beta hydroxy gel 3 times a week. Her products are not expensive and work great. Please check it out.

The best product line I've ever seen for acneic skin is Pangea Organics. At my store, we've seen many people convert from many skincare lines like clinique to proactive with wonderful results. Pangea uses herbal astringents, anti-inflammatories, etc. Also, be sure to keep your hands off your chin, drink lots of water and don't eat greasy food. good luck

Proactive has a skin lightening product specifically made for red and dark acne scars. It works but does have many chemicals in it.

I think it will fade away eventually.

Untill then, keep your face clean and use sensitive oil-free products! Good luck!

ask your doc for some retin A cream. Then stay out of the sun. As a registered nurse I've read lately that certain areas of the face break out for specific reason or contribute to the problem area / the mouth area and chin area are sometimes prone because of diet, the cheeks are improper or over washing the area, the forhead is usually due to oily skin and hair and then we are prone to picking at them @least i am. Also try some 3%hydrogen peroxide costs about a dollar and works well trick is once you've done your cleansing regime don't touch your face/ put some rubber gloves! Kidding - hope this helps audisafetyrn

I am in my thirties and still can get acne if I am not careful. I have used Dermalogica Anti-bac wash. It is good for the bacteria that causes acne. You have to be sure to remember to moisturize.

Hello!
i just read your add and i have the same problem, when i break out is always in the chin area. I have read that this area represents hormonal unbalance...To control it i use when im very oily 'anti back skin wash' (cleanser) from Dermalogica and Oil Control lotion (a moisturizer,from Dermalogica too) just on the chin area. I just use it like 2 or 3 days a week because i notest that if i use it everyday of the week it really dry my skin. So whenever i feel that one is about to come out, ill attack! Also i apply 'overnight clearing gel' just in the place where the break out is. Check out the Medi Bac system from Dermalogica, it has work for me. Hope i could be of some help. I havent meet too many people with the same problem than me! Good luck and remember not to touch your chin constantly. (i realized is a bad habit!)

I would recommend using salycilic acid, this has really helped me, you can get washes with it in and spot creams - Murad is good and there are a few out there with this in. Also clay masks really help - Decleor Aroma Puretee is brilliant. You can also take some vitamins like zinc 15 mg a day. Lastly, I recommend when you wash your face you do so with a clean cloth, to remove all the dirt. All the best.
