Acne Cysts in Chin

This page is dedicated to Acne Cysts in chin.



The first step I recommend you is to see an endocrinologist to verify if the cause of your acne is an hormonal imbalance: the cause of hormonal acne is most often linked to androgens, which are the hormones that stimulate the sebaceous glands and hair follicles in the skin.

When the sebaceous glands are over-stimulated by androgens, acne flare-ups can occur. Nearly half of all women experience acne flare-ups and increased facial oiliness during the week preceding menstruation.
The oil mixes with skin cells and bacteria, causing inflammation in the skin which appears as redness, swelling and pus, commonly known as a pimple.
Active acne cysts may enlarge and drain,or become painful,and the active acne inflamed by manipulation may lead to further acne scarring.
Acne cysts resemble keratinous cysts, being smooth, elevated, slightly movable, skin colored round nodules.
in this case Diane 35, an anti-androgenic drug, can reduce the excessive secretion of sebum by the sebaceous glands.



From my personal experience, Diane 35 has worked great to clear my cystic acne in chin!

If your chin acne is very severe also consider Accutane, an oral medication usually taken once or twice a day for 16 to 20 weeks.
Accutane is an effective treatment for chin acne in women. But, it is advised to use it carefully. Pregnant women and diabetics should avoid using it.

I recommend you: don't wait if you want to prevent ugly scars on your chin.
