Pimples on the chin

Acne on the chin is not so much a medical problem, as an aesthetic, plus it is that sooner or later acne on the chin with proper treatment is virtually without a trace. First of all, it is necessary to find out the main cause of the appearance of rashes on the chin, and the second to learn the truth - any external defect of the skin always indicates problems in internal organs and systems. Therefore, to treat acne on the chin you need not only external means, but also take care of eliminating the internal cause.

According to research by American dermatologists, about 40% of the depressed states of young people have, it would seem, a commonplace cause - acne on the chin and blackheads. However, in addition to the typical hormonal storms, there are many reasons that provoke the appearance of pimples on the chin.

Pimples on the chin, the reasons for their appearance

1. Activation of the production of sebum (cutaneous sebace secret) due to the high sensitivity of cutaneous receptors to hormonal changes. This is typical for the adolescent period. In older people, rashes on the chin can talk about increasing the level of androgens - steroid hormones.
2. Seizure of sebum in the follicles of small hairs, which are located on the chin. This blockage provokes the reproduction of Propionibacterium acnes - microorganisms that cause pimples on the chin or more precisely, acne. Often such acne have a characteristic black point from the outside, with time they are transformed into small pustules. 
3. Seizure of sebum in the ducts that remove the sebaceous secret. As a rule, the pimples on the chin are deep, they do not turn into purulent for a long time and do not break through. 
4. Damage to the thin walls of small hair follicles on the chin. All the contents accumulated as a result of the activity of microbes penetrate into the surrounding tissues. The skin of the chin inflames whole sites.

7. Wrong selection of cosmetic products - medical and decorative. Containing mineral and vegetable oils, creams, including tonal, often provoke the appearance of acne. 
8. Admission of hormonal drugs. 
9. Disturbance of the digestive process.

11. Systemic chronic diseases, for example, diabetes, thyroid gland pathology, polycystosis. 
12. Inflammatory process in the nasopharynx. 
13. Inflammatory process in the oral cavity, dental diseases. 
14. Avitaminosis (deficiency of vitamins of group B, zinc, magnesium, sulfur).
