Chin acne is a skin condition that is signified by the appearance of hideous looking pimples on the chin. Like acne in any other parts of the body, chin acne is caused by too much toxin in the body that blocks the pores in the skin.

Chin acne is by no means an untreatable condition. However, there are several misconceptions amongst the people about how to cure chin acne. Below are several chin acne myths that you need to know before getting chin acne treatments.


Myth #1: Eating Certain Foods Can Cause Acne

Some people believe that eating certain foods, such as chocolate, peanuts or fast foods, can cause acne breakouts. This isn’t entirely true. It is more accurate to say that eating too much of unhealthy foods can help cause chin acne to develop.

Tip: Eating a bar of chocolate today won’t make you suddenly grow a pimple tomorrow. Still, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t maintain a healthy diet! Fruits and vegetables are a great source of nutrients, and they help keep your skin fresh and clear.


Myth #2: Popping Acne Will Make Them Disappear. 

One of the most common way people try to cure chin acne is by popping them. This is a wrong idea that can actually make the condition worse. When you pop out your acne, the dirt in your nails or fingers may infect the area and irritate it. It may also leave some ugly-looking scar.

Tip: It is better to leave chin acne alone to heal. If you must pop it, make sure that your fingers and face are clean.


Myth #3: Tanning Can Cure Chin Acne

This is not true. Tanning does nothing to cure chin acne. In fact, if done improperly, tanning may cause further irritation to the skin.

Tip: To cure acne, use a more holistic approach. Eat right and exercise regularly, and chin acne is sure to disappear.

Chin acne is a fairly common condition that affects both adults and teenagers. The area of skin which acne occurs may vary, but generally teenagers will experience acne in T-area of the face and the chin. Adults, on the other hand, tend to get acne on the lower part of the face, which includes the neck, chin and cheeks.

Perhaps the worst possible case of acne is cyst chin acne. Compared to acne, cysts are larger and often red in color. It denotes that somewhere deep in the skin there is a worse infection. The cause of cysts can be genetic and/or hormonal. While chin acne is more common to occur in women, the cyst acne is found more on men.

The real cause of acne is still a mystery to be solved but there are many speculations as to why acne appears. There are several things and circumstances that are believed to trigger acne outburst. Amongst these, four are most common and can work together to cause the pimples, whiteheads and blackheads associated with acne. They are:

•    Blockages of skin pores
•    Activity of normal skin bacteria
•    Excessive oil production
•    Inflammation

And there are a few things that may lead to those conditions listed above. They are:

•    Hormonal problems
•    Toxins and other impurities
•    Improper diet
•    Cosmetic allergies
•    Hormonal imbalance

While chocolate, sweets and greasy foods are the most likely suspects; they actually have only a little effect to developing acne. Some people also believe that heredity carries acne down to generation and stress causes acne to occur when really they don’t have much to do with acne. Contrary to popular belief, dirty skin does not cause acne and there are no actual evidence that blackheads or whiteheads are caused by dirt. However, patients do need to maintain fresh and clean skin all the time.

Acne blue light treatment is a relatively new form of acne treatment that is now claimed as one of the most effective treatments for chin acne. While not all patients who tried this treatment are 100% cured, most cases have shown that the acne blue light treatment is capable of clearing as much as 50% of acne. We can still hardly call the acne blue light treatment a real cure, but it is always a therapy worth to try. Its success and satisfaction rate on patients are quite high.

The blue light helps the patients reduce acne by killing the bacteria on the skin. Patients receive acne blue light treatment in sessions. Generally, patients undergo a treatment once a week for a period of four to eight weeks. It should be noted that the acne blue light treatment may cause some mild side effects 5 to 7 days after the treatment.

Some of these side effects include the following:

•    Redness or swelling in the area that is being treated
•    Dry skin
•    Changes in the skin pigment
•    More acne outbreak is also possible in very severe cases
•    Photosensitivity (sensitivity to light)

Acne blue light treatment results generally last 3-4 months. It also doesn’t normally cost too much, which is around $100 to $600. Therefore, acne blue light treatment is actually a good method to try.

However, there is a type of acne that cannot be treated by the acne blue light treatment. Forcing to undergo the treatment may even cause the acne to worsen. This acne is nodulocystic acne, and is often signified by the appearance of reddish or purplish bumps on the skin that feel painful when touched. A thorough skin analysis is always needed before having any treatments done.

Chin acne is a common skin condition amongst people. Like acne in other parts of the body, chin acne is caused by excessive oil production, which then becomes trapped in the pores of the skin. The clogged pores then become the breeding grounds of P. acnes bacteria, which then inflame the pores and turn it into a pimple. A pimple may then lead to the existence of whitehead or blackhead.

To cure acne, many different treatments now exist. Over-the-counter and prescribed medications and even homemade treatments are available for combating unwanted chin acne. An alternative is the acne blue light therapy.

Just like the name implies, the acne blue light treatment cures chin acne by means of a blue light, created using fluorescent lights or LEDs. During the treatment, the skin is exposed to the light, which activates porphyrins in the P. acnes bacteria and kills it.

According to researches, the acne blue light treatment has been proven quite effective to combat chin acne. To increase its effectiveness, patients are advised to undergo a treatment once every week for approximately four to eight weeks depending on the severity of the condition. A known side effect after undergoing treatments is redness or pain on the skin. Usually, a topical cream is used in conjunction with the treatment to eliminate pustules and papules.

The cost for an acne blue light treatment may vary from $100 to $600. However, patients who are considering acne blue light treatment should understand that the treatment is relatively new and its effects have not been tested in the long term. While so far treatments have proven successful, there is no absolute guarantee for its safety. Thus, it is advised to seek advice from a certified dermatologist before deciding to undergo the treatment.

Chin acne in adults develops because of excessive production of oil or sebum by the glands underneath our skins.

The severity of the inflammation can vary amongst people; some people can have worse condition than others.

Some condition in adults can also increase the chance for acne to develop. These conditions include pregnancy, menopause or use of strong cosmetic products and medications. In some cases, emotional tension can also cause acne.

If you are suffering from chin acne, there are actually plenty of ways to cure acne. However, pills and over-the-counter medications seem to become less and less popular. Today, more people prefer homemade acne treatment, as it is inexpensive and does not cause harmful side effects.

There are a few homemade acne treatment methods we can try. An easy and popular treatment is by using masks that can be made in your own kitchen using ingredients that are easy to find. Some popular homemade acne treatment masks are:

•    Yoghurt mask: mix one teaspoon of warm honey with one tablespoon of natural yoghurt, leave on for 10-20 minutes.

•    Egg white mask: take an egg and remove the yolk from the white. Apply the egg white on skin for 15 minutes. If you have oily skin, you can add some lemon juice.

•    Salt mask: Stir in salt and water then leave for 20 minutes. Apply on the skin for about 30 minutes.
