acne around mouth and chin
by clumz, Mar 26, 2007 12:00AM
in 24 years old and since i had been about 15-16 i have been in a losing battle against acne. I had tried all types of topical oral medication and oral medication from accutane to tetracycline. Recently i had been breaking out very often around my nose, chin, and around my mouth. I had never really had a problem in this area before but it is very constant now. Usually i would have break outs and clear up for a week or so but now im consistantly breaking out around my mouth and chin area. What type of acne is this and are there any oral/topical medications that work very well?

Wash your face witha mild water soluble cleanser like cetaphil am and pm.
PM after cleansing use a beta hydroxy lotion (Availabe at most drug stores)to exfoliateFor active breakouts also use benzoil peroxide to disinfect.I prefer the 10% solution myself.I get the equate version at wal mart.It will kill the zit bacteria in 24 hours.
Good luck and let me know how it goes
