Have A Lump Under The Chin Along With Acne Around It. No Medication Till Now. What To Do For This?

Hi there I Am 23 female and the past two months I've noticed a lump under my chin... If a chin is a V it's exactly at the corner of the V... It's seems to have grown since I first discovered it... But it is painless.. I've been getting a lot of acne right around it, dk if that has any thing to do with it... I'm worried because I do smoke. And bite my lover lip a lot I have a habit of chewing it till it bleeds but I try not to... So worried

Hello,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to HealthcareMagic.
As per your query you you have lump under the chin along with acne around it from last 2 months.
The characteristic feature appears to be problem of "Sebaceous cyst". It is quite common to find these kind of cyst at this area because of blockage of oil glands at these sites.
This is basically formed by the collection of cheezy material in the oil glands which forms a cystic structure.
You can meet a Dermatologist / surgeon for the management. It can be easily excised or cauterized if small and you will be totally alright. Till that time do not scratch or even try to touch the area unnecessarily, apply any antibacterial cream such as fucidin or mupirocin or gentamicin 2 times a day.
I hope these information's will help you. If you have further queries I will be happy to help.
"Wish you good health"
Regards,
