What It Really Means If You Have A Pimple In One Of These Places

Posted by Mittie Cheatwood on Tuesday, June 11, 2024

Pesky pimples plaguing your chin and jawline? Lucky for you, there's a simple solution for lessening the effects of pimple pests. Acne in this particular spot indicates overly high stress levels or too much sugar consumption. Simply put, pimples on the chin and jawline are a tell-tale sign of a hormonal imbalance, which is why many notice breakouts here during ovulation and right before menstruating. Oftentimes, these hormonal breakouts are your body's natural response to stress, since stress stimulates androgen hormones, which then stimulate the oil glands and produce pimples along your chin and jawline, as Women's Health explained.

In addition to stress and diet, some popular medications generate problematic pimples along the chin, including oral contraceptives, antidepressants, corticosteroids, and even B vitamins (via Healthline). Because many of these medications are essentially irreplaceable, over-the-counter treatments containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide may be the best solution for treating jawline pimples. Consult with your doctor or dermatologist before combining prescription and OTC medications, to ensure your safety against an adverse reaction. 

If you are concerned about adding additional medications to your routine, a number of natural remedies for acne on the chin may better suit your needs. Natural remedies for jawline pimples include aloe vera, green tea extract, tea tree oil, zinc, and azelaic acid. Tea tree oil, specifically, can effectively alleviate problematic skin. Just be sure to dilute it.
