I haven't gotten pimples anywhere else in a long time. but these just won't stop for a few weeks now, regardless of the time of the month. Anyone have an idea what might be causing them?

Are you smearing your lip balm or chapstick onto your chin and mouth areas?

Possible sensitivity to toothpaste? Mouthwash? Lipstick?

I had to change a lot of pastes to find one that doesn't ruin skin. I thought it was fluoride, 'cause there are 6879033 warnings online about it, but nope, it turns out to be flavoring, all the mints and whatever else is put in there doesn't agree with my skin and makes me break out. Irritation also leads to breakouts, apparently.

hmmm that's weird cause i've always used minty colgate toothpaste and the pimples only started a few weeks ago, nothing happened before. i haven't worn anything on my lips or skin at all lately. could that be sodas? i probably have drank too much in the past few days. i normally drink less, but then why would it be particulary on the chin? i researched some info and a lot of people are saying it can be hormonal or stress, which both would make sense to me. I used to take pills to balance out hormones and they helped a lot with breakouts. Also I just moved to a new place and ive been extremely busy with work and it's been kind of stressful.

bingo i bet its stress. cortisol is the stress hormone and can wreak havoc with skin. take time to drink water and deep breathe.

I've heard acne around chin was endocrin related to female hormones. I'm dealing with them too.. as well as forehead.

Sometimes eatting very very greasy foods and then wiping your mouth with those tough restaurant fabric napkins gives me pimples near my lip area and chin.

Toothpaste often causes breakouts around the mouth. I had chin breakouts caused by toothpaste years ago. It could also be an allergy. Have you used any new products lately, or eaten any different foods?
