Slightly Circular Red Marks On The Underside Of Chin. What Could Be This ?
Hi, I m a 19 year old female and I just saw that I have red marks in a slightly circular shape on the underside of my chin . Just noticed it now (they aren t really visible if looking straight forward into a mirror) and no idea where it came from. The marks aren t raised, painful, or itchy. It looks almost like a hickey but instead of it being a sold block of red it s a pattern of separated red marks. Thank you!

Hi,
It seems that you may be having tinea faciale or some irritant contact dermatitis.
Take antifungal like ketoconazole for two weeks.
And apply antifungal cream like clotrimazole.
Avoid soap application.
It might go away.
If no response , then it may be irritant contact dermatitis or something else.
Consult dermatologist for perfect treatment.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
