Is there anyone who, like me, gets a lot of acne on their chin? I don't get a lot of acne on other parts of my body, but I get a lot of acne on my chin.

Once it appears, it turns red and hurts when pressed, so it's a bit nerve-wracking. Chin acne is said to be an area particularly affected by lifestyle and hormones.

So today, for those of you who suffer from chin acne like me, I'm going to explain everything from the causes of chin acne to how to manage and prevent it, and even dermatological treatments that can help with acne management!

1. Causes of chin acne

1) Hormonal changes

Chin acne can be caused by hormonal changes. For women, it's common during premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Chin acne can also occur around the time of menstruation or during periods, or due to increased stress.

 

2) Toothpaste ingredients

Toothpaste ingredients can also cause chin acne. Contact with toothpaste ingredients while brushing your teeth can also trigger chin acne. If toothpaste touches your skin, it can irritate it and cause breakouts.

 

3) Improper shaving

For men, improper shaving can cause chin acne. The dead skin cells and sebum left behind after shaving can clog pores, causing chin acne.

 

4) Other causes

It is also said that kidney and reproductive dysfunction are causes of chin acne.

2. Chin Acne Management and Prevention

I'll tell you some home care and prevention methods for chin acne that you can do on a regular basis!

 

1) Hygiene management

It is said that refraining from resting your chin on your unclean hands or touching your chin can help manage chin acne.

 

2) Thorough face washing

It is important to thoroughly wash around your mouth after brushing your teeth, as toothpaste residue can cause acne or other blemishes on your chin.

 

3) Razor blade disinfection

Because razor blades can harbor a lot of bacteria, regularly disinfecting them can help prevent chin acne.

 

4) Improve lifestyle habits

Since chin acne can be caused by hormonal imbalances and stress, it is important to get enough sleep on a regular basis, and eating a balanced diet and managing stress can help manage chin acne.

3. Dermatological treatments that help manage chin acne

Since acne can get worse if left untreated, here are some dermatological treatments that can help manage it!

 

1) Peeling

Aqua Peel helps remove sebum and waste products, and Aladdin Peel is a treatment that uses fine needles made of natural ingredients to help relieve acne, redness, and pigmentation.

2) Treatment of the cause

Since acne is caused by sebum secretion, you can receive treatment to manage sebum.

PDT is a treatment that destroys sebaceous glands and acne bacteria by irradiating light of a specific wavelength that reacts to a photosensitizer, and IPL acne mode is said to help relieve sebaceous glands along with acne redness.

Capri Laser is said to be a treatment that helps reduce the volume of sebaceous glands and sebum secretion, which are the root causes of acne.

Once a pimple appears on the chin, it is painful and stressful to keep getting it in the same spot. Since pimples on the chin are often caused by hormones and lifestyle habits, I think it is important to find the cause and manage it.
