What causes acne on the chin?

In life, we can always see some people with acne on their faces, some on their cheeks and some on their chins. At this time, some beauty-loving women will always use some acne-removing skin care products, or try various methods to remove acne. However, we don’t know the specific cause of the acne, so the treatment results are often unsatisfactory. So, what causes chin acne?

In fact, there are many reasons why women get acne on their chins: one is the amount of fat in the skin, and the other is the ratio of fat content to water content. In other words, too much oil does not necessarily lead to acne, but if there is too much oil and too little water, the chance of getting acne increases greatly. Third, the strength of the skin’s disease resistance. Fourth, the degree of endocrine system imbalance.

If a woman's chin acne is caused by excessive fat content in the skin, the acne can be removed by paying attention to cleansing the skin and moisturizing it. If your skin's disease resistance is weak or your acne is severe, you can use acne-removing products with anti-inflammatory effects to help remove acne.

The reason why most women get acne on their chins is due to endocrine disorders. Acne on the chin is mostly related to hormone secretion. For women, it is caused by problems with the reproductive system such as the uterus or ovaries, which leads to endocrine abnormalities. At the same time, phenomena such as dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, or increased blood clots during menstruation are likely to appear in your life.

Acne is not scary. As long as you have a normal lifestyle to overcome acne, I believe acne will never appear in your life. Women with irregular menstruation should be treated in time. At the same time, acne on the chin will not appear.

1. Daily care

Wash your face with warm water once or twice a day to clean your skin, and avoid squeezing or scratching skin lesions with your hands. Avoid using oily and powdery cosmetics and ointments and creams containing glucocorticoids.

2. Common methods of acne treatment

(1) Topical medications: Retinoic acid (retinoic acid cream, adapalene gel, tazarotene gel), benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics (clindamycin, erythromycin, chloramphenicol, etc.), azelaic acid, sulfur lotion, etc.

(2) The first choice of oral antibiotics is tetracycline (minocycline, doxycycline, etc.), followed by macrolides (erythromycin). Avoid antibiotics commonly used to treat systemic infections such as levofloxacin. The course of antibiotics is usually 6 to 12 weeks.

(3) Oral isotretinoin For severe acne, oral isotretinoin is the standard treatment and currently the most effective method for treating acne. The treatment course aims to achieve a minimum cumulative dose of 60 mg/kg.

(4) Anti-androgen therapy, such as the oral contraceptive cyproterone acetate combined tablets, is suitable for female patients with moderate to severe acne accompanied by symptoms of excessive androgen levels (such as hirsutism, seborrhea, etc.) or polycystic ovary syndrome. Female patients with delayed-onset acne and acne that is significantly aggravated before menstruation may also consider using oral contraceptives.

(5) Oral glucocorticoids are mainly used for fulminant or aggregated acne, following the principle of short-term, low-dose, and combined with other methods.

(6) For patients who cannot tolerate or are unwilling to receive drug treatment, physical therapy such as photodynamic therapy (PDT), fruit acid therapy, laser therapy, etc. can also be considered.

The above is a detailed introduction to the causes of acne on the chin. I hope it will be of great help to everyone. Everyone knows that the most basic problem of this situation is endocrine disorders in the body, so sometimes using some skin care products is useless, and you still need to regulate your own health.
