Hormonal acne chin
Common Questions and Answers about Hormonal acne chin
acne
Need some advice... I'm 32 years old and I've been diagnosed with papulopustular Rosacea a year ago.. Nothing really helped (antibiotics, metro cream, noritate, elides..) until I tried soolantra cream which cleared my forehead, nose and cheeks and almost all of my chin.
I was taking orthotricyclen since 15 years and was told to switch to Diane 35 for better results because it seemed to be more of hormonal acne...
Several factors are usually considered to cause acne such as diet, stress, genetic, dirt hormonal imbalances, cosmetics, work-related and drugs.
Treatment options include topical and oral antibiotics, topical retinoids, hormonal therapy, dermabrasion , phototherapy and laser resurfacing. Normally a combination of treatments is followed and if nothing proves effective then dermabrasion and laser therapy are useful. You can discuss these treatment options with your dermatologist.
Anyways, I went to my doctor multiple times in a desperate attempt to find a pill or medication that could clear my acne, and was even considering Accutane during that bout of acne last year (doc said no because I was on antidepressants at the time). I've tried everything from clindamycin to minocyclin to tretinoin to bactrim (which gave me a rash and high fever, turns out I'm allergic to it) to birth control pills... to no avail.
Within the past month I had unprotected sex with someone I don't know very well. Recently I started breaking out under my nose and on my chin area, which I've read were my hormonal areas in regards to acne. Could a STD like Chlamydia be the cause of this? I'm 36 and no stranger to breakouts and a few years back, I had syphilis. Unfortunately being blind to the symptoms I went almost a year without knowing.
After three years on it, I began to suffer from bad chin/jawline and back acne, and was menstruating for two weeks at a time. I have now stopped the injection and started on the Qlaira contraceptive/birth control pill, which I know is not especially for improving acne as some are (Yaz, Diane 35), but I want to know how likely this change is to help, as i really am at the end of my tether. I'm about a week into my second pack and so far, nothing has changed - for better or worse.
Hi. Apologies for the extensive response in advance but I feel everything that follows is pertinent.
Sounds identical to what I'm suffering with; literally developed relentless cysts on my jawline and chin a few months ago after only having to endure a minor hormonal breakouts beforehand.
Your eating habits should not have a direct effect on acne, since acne is caused by bacteria and hormonal fluctuations affect it. Yes, some foods MAY trigger an attack in some people, but I'm yet to see this in my case.
Sometimes our skin gets used to certain topical medicines. If that's the case, the doctor will change it for you or combine it with other meds.
My concern is on my chin, on the side of my chin I got 2 relatively big pimple looking bumps. I tried to pop them but one just bled and the other nothing happened. If I possibly contracted the disease it would have been months ago. I'm 16 and probably am just going through hormonal changes but I'm still very worried!! There are a few more of these pimple like things around my chin but they are very small and scattered. They aren't all bunched together.
I've never really had too bad acne except for maybe one zit on my cheek or chin a month and a few on my forehead more frequently and had neither oily nor dry skin. A few months ago, my face just randomly broke out everywhere, starting with my chin, and within a week was completely covered with acne. I then started using an acne kit called Clean and Clear Advantage, but that only dried out my skin and made it peel pretty badly.
I get some acne on my chin every once in awhile since I got pregnant. Mine isn't bad but I bought a grapefruit acne scrub from Walgreens and it works really well.
Hello,
From your symptoms perioral dermatitis and adult acne are important possibilities. It occurs due to hormonal imbalance at this age. Just keep you face clean by washing with a mild soap atleast twice a day. Pat it dry and do not rub it. Avoid picking or pressing the acne. You can also use Benzoyl peroxide 5% lotion or gel once at bedtime. An amount of lotion the size of a pea should be enough to cover most of your face.
However, ironically, now my periods are literally every 28 days (like clockwork), yet my other symptoms related to PCOS seem to have become a lot worse. I have suffered with chronic cystic (and what I believe to be hormonal) acne for the last 4 months, have noticed that my hair has thinned terribly and am an absolute nightmare every 7 days preceding my monthly bleed.
