Why do I always get big pimples on my chin

For people with acne-prone and oily skin, their faces are often troubled by large and small pimples all year round. Some girls start to get acne as soon as their menstrual period comes, while others start to get acne as soon as they eat seafood. Some boys have had acne on their faces since they entered puberty and it is very stubborn. These pimples usually appear on the forehead, cheeks or chin. In particular, some people tend to get acne near their chins, and the pimples are not only large but also pus-filled.

1. Causes of acne on both sides of the chin

1. Overdeveloped sebaceous glands

Oily skin is particularly prone to acne, and the sebaceous glands in the chin area are overdeveloped. If the pores are blocked or oil cannot be discharged smoothly due to other reasons, the sebaceous glands will continue to secrete, and sebum will accumulate in the pores, bulging into acne.

2. Endocrine disorders

Women will feel signs before menstruation, and premenstrual acne is one of the symptoms because of the increase in androgens and progesterone and the decrease in estrogen. The imbalance of hormone secretion indirectly causes excessive sebum secretion, which further aggravates the acne condition.

3. Drug stimulation

Some medications have serious side effects and can cause the body to function abnormally. For example, oral contraceptives, diet pills, and menstrual regulation drugs can stimulate endocrine imbalance or cause toxin accumulation, leading to acne on the chin.

2. How to treat acne on the chin

1. Examine the cause of acne

The causes of acne growth still need to be comprehensively analyzed from various aspects such as diet, work and rest, environment, sebum follicles, etc., and the right cause must be found and the right medicine must be prescribed to make acne disappear forever.

2. Seek treatment early

When you find a pimple about to sprout (it's red, a little hard, and you have a feeling it's going to grow into a pimple), pick up an anti-inflammatory acne medication or an anti-acne skincare product with simpler ingredients, apply a little on it and press it on the pimple, reapply every 1-2 hours, and there's a good chance you can keep the pimple under control.

3. Clean appropriately

"Cleaning, keeping pores unblocked, and reducing oil secretion" is the only way to fight acne, but if you over-cleanse the skin or use too strong a lotion, it will have the opposite effect. Only a moderate amount of oil can protect the skin, and the oil-water balance will also reduce acne.

4. Control oil and moisturize at the same time

Most acne-prone skin types are oily, which is a veritable oil field. For this reason, many acne-prone skin types try their best to control oil but do not do a good job of hydrating and moisturizing. Little do they know that when the skin is dry, it will secrete more oil to protect the skin.

5. Take good care of the sun

Some people think that sunscreen will clog their pores so they dare not use it at all. In fact, excessive ultraviolet radiation will aggravate the pigmentation of acne marks. Therefore, people with acne-prone skin must apply a refreshing sunscreen 20 minutes before going out. After coming back, they should also use a facial mask for emergency treatment to prevent the acne scars from getting worse, and finally use repair products to calm and repair the skin.
