I, for some reason only get pimples around my mouth and mostly the chin under the mouth. Does anyone know what may be causing this? I do not rest my hand there ever just once in a while. I hardly get any on cheeks and some once in a while on nose? Anything that could be causing this around the mouth acne? Thanks.

If you wear lipstick, or use chapstick, it could easily migrate around your mouth. I have that happen alot.

Also, eating often gets grease around the mouth area, even if you can't feel it. I had to learn to use more utensils and straw.

Those are usually related to hormonal imbalances. Research on google, and find vitamins or herbs that help balance hormones, and they should help.

I had a doctor who told me touching your face can cause breakouts. I used to rest my face on my palm a lot and got pimples on my cheek. But when I stopped doing it I noticed a decrease in pimples. So if you are touching the areas a lot then that could be the problem.

I found that when I kiss my girlfriend a lot, the friction causes me to get a lot of pimples around my lips, I keep getting one after another, it really is annoying. I guess love can be a bitch.

My derm told me that a lot of toothpaste’s have some stuff in them that cause breakouts around the mouth. Crest, breaks me out so I don’t use it anymore. I cannot remember what the ingredient in it is that does it though, Google it.
I know it sux having breakouts around the mouth.

toothpaste, drooling at night... i'm on tane and just got one by my mouth that i'm attributing to the lip moisturizer i've been using. i have to slather it on thickly because my lips are so darn dry

Do you talk on the phone alot? Cellphone or regular phone irritation can aggravate skin problems around the mouth area. I also thought about the nighttime drooling someone else mentioned. I think you are on the Regimen, right? Just make sure to give those areas a good coating of bp twice daily and see if, in time, the breakouts decrease.

this is very true, I have 2 disinfect my phones regularly...also do u bite u'r nails?

Do you rest your hands on your chin?

[karma police]

I think the ingredient in the toothpaste that someone mentioned is Sodium Laureth Sulfate. (Not sure about the spelling.) It's never broken me out but I've heard it's a culprit for others.

Also, do you use Carmex? I swear by it, but a while ago my derm told me to be really, really careful only to put it on my lips as it can break skin out.

Toothpaste can cause breakouts? Thats something I havent heard before. What about shaving? Could the shaving gels or foam be the cause?

[Dannie]

stress too

Try buying Cortaid cream at Wallmart (located near the pharmacy).Rub it around your mouth and chin after you shower.Put a lot on so it soaks in.
I had the same problem as you and it cleared up.
Let me know if it works.
