Does anyone out there know what to do for scarring n the chin due to removing hair with tweezers?  It looks horrible and I am too self consiouc to see anyone professionaly or even go out into to public anymore.

Hello,
A cyst is a closed sac occurring just under the skin which contains a "pasty" or "cheesy" looking substance called keratin. Blocked sebaceous glands, swollen hair follicles and excessive testosterone production will cause such cysts.

The other possibility is of acne vulgaris which is common at this age. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.

I can tell you that this isnt any type of normal acne. The hairs may not necessarily be hairs. It may be toxic buildup of pathogens including but not limited to fungi, bacteria, or viruses. If the cysts itch, it could be viral.  The thing you all have in common may be hormonal changes, depressed immune system or diseases and exposure to too many chemicals. Your body is toxic and unable to fight these things off because they trick the immune system into not recognizing them.  Try to get your body into a good place, get healthy, dont use too many chemicals, stay away from sugar or starches, drink plenty of water, take your vitamins, etc...eat organic when possible.  There are so many new and undiscovered pathogens in our world that doctors will have no clue about until they take the time to look.  A biopsy of any of these would show what it is or isn't but most times your doctor probably wont take the time to do that, right?

So you can only guess that this isnt normal, especially if youve had normal skin your whole life.  But i can tell you these things are opportunistic and want to survive like anything else, so yeah theyll move and spread. Word of advice, you make them spread when you pick at them and dont cleanse the area properly with something like rubbing alcohol or peroxide. If youre tweezing, disinfect the tweezers each time, if you shave, dispose of the razor after you use it and clean skin and disinfect before you shave or youll spread it.

The cure, since these things have a preference for hair follicles is laser, electrolysis, etc. Kill the hair follicle and you'll get rid of these things.  But remember the infection prefers follicles...so be careful with your hair on your head as well.
