Chin Acne

Posted on November 14, 2007 in Acne On Body

Chin acne arises on account of reasons similar to acne breakouts in any other part of the body, which is, clogging of the hair follicles. This blockade is caused due to the accumulation of dead skin cells and a rise in oil production, both of which try to escape through the skin pores and in the process create a susceptible ground for the growth of bacteria and viruses.

Experts claim that chin acne is a more common problem with women rather than with men and occurs at any age. They also assert that it is during the menstrual cycles during which women are most bogged down by the bumps on their skin surface. For women, chin acne can flare up during the onset of puberty, menstrual cycles or pregnancy.

Treatment for chin acne:

Dermatologists have sighted many formulas and medications to treat chin acne. They include the following:

Experts also warn the sufferers of chin acne to keep away from benzoyl peroxide solutions and topical retinoids for treating chin acne as these formulas are most likely to cause skin sensitivities like an itching or burning sensation.

Adding to that, researchers also warn against picking on the chin acne because that can cause scars and/or may also aggravate your acne condition by spreading the bacteria to other parts as well. The use of non-comedogenic and oil free products to treat chin acne is therefore, a conventional and safe preference. So, for any skin treatment it is very essential to seek the recommendations of a skin specialist or dermatologists.
