I have recurring pimples on my chin that keep popping up in the same spot. I'm curious about the cause and treatment methods!
Hello. I am writing to inquire because I have been deeply concerned about recurring skin trouble around my chin recently. For some time now, while the rest of my face is clear, breakouts have been appearing periodically only along my jawline and around my mouth. Even after they subside for a while, red, painful, pustular acne inevitably pops up in the same spot whenever I am tired or my period is approaching.
Even though I try my best not to touch them, the marks remain very deep, and every time I squeeze them, scars or hyperpigmentation form, causing me stress every time I look in the mirror. I have switched to gentle skincare products and am paying attention to my lifestyle habits, but it seems difficult to break this recurring cycle with home care alone, so I am writing this to seek help from a dermatologist.
I am curious if these chin issues are primarily caused by hormones or internal factors, and I would like to know how dermatologists typically begin treatment, such as extraction, scaling, or laser therapy. I would also appreciate your advice on how to manage the existing red marks and scars. I know you are busy, but I look forward to your reply. Thank you!

I'm worried about dryness and redness on my cheeks in late autumn. What kind of care would be best?[6]
CommentsIt seems wise of you to be cautious with exfoliation when your cheeks feel tight and red due to the heating. I would also like to take your advice on whether I should consult about soothing care or a skin booster first.220026.11.03 - 03CommentsIt’s amazing that you’ve consistently managed with just soothing care without touching your hands. I’ll check the reply when it comes up regarding whether the extraction comes first or if the peeling is done together.200026.11.03

- 03CommentsIt would be difficult to determine the required number of sessions from the start, as it varies depending on the level of inflammation, the presence of scars, and management goals. It would make comparisons easier if you asked about the timing of the interim evaluation and the criteria for modifying the plan during the consultation.530026.10.28
- 01CommentsI'm also stressed because I keep getting acne, but it seems like getting laser treatments consistently is important. I think it will get better after receiving more than 10 sessions.2180026.10.26
- 02CommentsI imagine you are really curious if you can manage both blackheads and acne at the same time. It would be a good idea to consult with them to see if they can be treated together after assessing your skin condition.710026.10.25
- 03CommentsI get breakouts on my chin before and after my period exactly the same way, so it really feels like I'm on the same page. During your consultation, please ask about the best order to manage the current inflammation and remaining marks, as well as available time slots after work!1310026.10.25
