small bumps on my face

by cmeaker1, Sep 11, 2009 01:12PM
I have small bumps on my face and under my chin. I stopped using lotion and everything on my face and the bumps s want to stay. I have had this for a long time and I am wondering what I can do to get rid of these bumps. Once in a while My face will get red like a allergic reaction. Maybe once a year that happens. I have tried in the past, a scrub to maybe get rid of it that way.

Hello,
They sound like blocked hair follicles or sebaceous glands.
Cleanse the area thoroughly and apply a good mild exfoliating scrub on that. Apply a medicated cream or gel containing resorcinol, salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. If benzoyl peroxide leaves your skin dry, apply an oil-free moisturizer after 10 minutes of applying benzoyl peroxide.

If the symptoms still persist then please consult a dermatologist.

I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
