Lumps on chin

by Lamentations, Sep 09, 2007 05:03PM
I am approaching 40 and have suffered with acne from my teenage years. I had a course of Roaccutane in my 20's which improved my skin greatly but since having my children, 7 years ago I suffer with big 'lumps' on my chin each month. Not sure whether they are boils or cysts but they appear about 4 days before my period each month and last for a good week. It affects my self confidence and I feel I have suffered long enough with skin problems. Please help anyone.

As you have noticed, acne is a hormonal problem with cysts appearing the week before your period. Freederm is a good over the counter remedy. Or, go to your doctor for a prescription cream like differin, or oral antibiotics. If you are on the progesterone only pill this can cause acne so either come off it or change to one with eostrogen like Femodene, yasmin or dianette. Love loiloi x
