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.

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! |
