dankaglacial 0 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I've had these on my chin for years now, and I've tried everything to make them disappear - exfoliators, over the counter acne medication, two types of antibiotics and Differin gel. But they're still there! I've tried popping them, but there's too many and some won't pop either. My skin isn't like that anywhere else! i one to my dermatologist but she was very dismissive of it, focussing more on my red spots. any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Mathilde 0 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Looks like you have whiteheads, which is extremely normal to have on your chin. Ingredients like benzoyl peroxide and salisylic acid may help you, and remember to be very consistent when on a treatment! For me, it took several months before I saw progress. Maybe you could give the acne.org regimen a go? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately if I'm on Differin, my gp and derm both told me to stay away from anything that has BP or salicylic acid, literally all I can wash with and use on my skin skin Cetaphil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
emc1997 0 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I have the exact same issue, I've had it for about 3 years now. I have also tried everything possible. Did you ever get any answers?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wehrlebird 4 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I would get those sometimes when I used too many different products on my face or had an allergic reaction to something I was using. It's possible that something you are using now is causing them or they may just be part of your skin issue, we all have different things. Honestly though you can only see them when you are a foot from your face, I would just focus on keeping your face clear of regular pimples/cysts and maybe they will eventually go way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bryannagramajo 0 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Hi! Did you ever find a way to get rid of them ? I have the same problem right now and i don’t know how to get rid of them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Babygash 0 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Dude I’m going through the same thing, I’ve had them for probably a year straight and they have never gotten better or worse they are just always there and I cannot stand it! They are sooo visible whenever I smile and it really makes me conscious Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElaineA 15 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Looks like one of 3 possible causes. Each has a completely different treatment. A good dermatologist should be able to run tests to determine the exact problem. 1. Folliculitis - Fungal - needs antifungal treatment. Topical and stronger oral treatments are available. Aussie Scientist has many knowledgeable posts on the topic on this forum. 2. Demodex Follicullorum - Caused by an over population of the common demodex skin mite. Treatment with Ivermectin topical or Oral Ivermectin + Oral Metronidazole can be very effective. Tea tree oil based products may help. 3. Bacterial infection. - This is possible but may be less likely since these all appear as whiteheads and not blackheads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
