Suggest Treatment For Unusual Spots Appearing On The Chin
I had a large, sore, under the skin spot on my chin a few weeks ago since then I have had another two of these spots on different parts of my chin. They are extremely tender to touch and have no head on them so they can't be popped. Once the initial redness goes down they leave a hard lump. What is causing them?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have unusual spots appearing on the chin which occur due to clogging of skin pores with sebum, dead bacteria and dust. I would suggest you to You should apply Melalite XL cream which is combination of hydroquinone + Tretinoin + steroid and apply it at night time and wash your face daily with cold water and face wash containing salicylic acid twice a day and apply cream containing azelaic acid which is good for acne. If condition doesn't get well in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics like minocyclin, steroid ointment and may recommend chemical peeling for marks.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
