Hello everybody,

To cut a long story short I have been suffering with acne for 8 years now. Innitially I had severe acne then moderate acne and now mild acne. I have tried vast amounts of treatments for my acne. However, when I break out it always seems to be in the same place, which is slightly to the right of my chin, but not on my chin and just above and on my jawline. Does anyone have similar problems or does anyone know why this happens or is there a possible solution. I currently use a Simple cleanser and eurcerin dry face relief cream (on occassions) and I spot treat with sudocrem(once every two nights usually, or sometimes everynight).
Thanks.

You might want to try adding in some gentle exfoliation to your regimen. It has helped me greatly in my regimen. I exfoliate via NdnRomeo's baby's hair brush method. It works very well. You'll have fewer clogged pores and thus fewer breakouts.

The Eucerin cream has some comedogenic ingredients according to Acne Detective: Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate rating 2 on a scale of 0-5; Cetyl Alcohol 2 on 0-5 scale; Glyceryl Stearate (depending on formulation) can be either a 1 or a 3 (3 is bad!), and lanolin alcohol 0-2 I'm not sure why the range.

But of course the lactic acid in it is great. And lots of people LOVE the Eucerin Dry Skin Relief with Urea and don't break out from it. So bottom line is, if it works for you, keep on with it. It sounds like overall your regimen has greatly improved your skin! Congratulations.

I have a similar problem.

My acne isn't very bad at all but maybe once a week I'll get about 4 or 5 new whitheads just to the right and left of my chin and sometimes small ones on my cheeks.

I only get spots on my forehead and above my upper lip after a heavy night of drinking yet the other areas are starting to bother me now.
