Acne in different parts of the face are often due to different causes! The most interesting, in a way, is chin acne. Usually seen as inflamed spots with or without pus in the chin area, this type of acne can be particularly resistant to standard acne therapy.
To understand why, we must first look at how chin acne is formed. And the answer is glaringly obvious when you look at someone who suffers from this condition. They habitually touch their chins constantly! By picking at the acne spots with their dirty hands, they are spreading the infection around, making the cycle difficult to break!
Very often, this is done so unconsciously that it will take a while to break this habit. But break this habit we must, or the situation is unlikely to improve. First step is recognising that you are doing this all the time. Then consciously stopping yourself everytime you touch your face. The next step is to stop yourself before you touch your face.
Whilst the behaviour modification program is proceeding, good acne type skincare and antibacterial therapy is useful to keep the chin acne under control. Benzoyl peroxide is useful to dry up the spots more quickly too. If there are no juicy spots, there is less temptation to touch your face.
Just remember… DON’T TOUCH YOUR FACE!!! That simple trick alone can help you to cure your chin acne problems!
