Adult Acne
Friends, My adult acne is out of control. Always in my chin region. Always deep under the skin. Anyone have any solutions? Please don't just tell me to go to a dermatologist. I'm scarred (literally lol) from derms.

I've learned a lot about diet and its relationship to skin. I'd google along those lines. You might find vegetable oils (in almost everything), lectins, oxalates, etc. are bothering you.
Just read Rio Viera-Newton's book Let's Face It: Secrets of a Skincare Obsessive. The book will help you figure out other skin concerns you have and the actual ingredients that will help your acne. I can recommend products that will help with acne but I don't know what type of skin you have and the same products may not help you and could only make things worse and breakout more. It's really important to learn what the ingredients the are and if they will address your acne.
I love Dermalogica and Tula products for hard-to-get-rid-of acne. I've struggled for years, but these products give me the best results.
Chins typically hormonal so if it’s consistently an issue maybe consult a doc on that. But I use the mighty patch or really any hydrocolloid patches to bring the deep ones to the surface. It either sucks it all up or makes it a very easy pop. They also prevent me from like constantly grazing my skin and making everything worse
Also, I would check out Sophie Pavitt - https://www.sofiepavitt.com/ She does virtual consultations for people who are not in NYC! I have a few friends who have seen her, and it takes months, but they have gotten great results.
I have no solution or tips. Adult acne is such a bitch and I wish there was a cure already.

Same for me! I started going to Glow Bar and she told me my face was SO congested that the products I was using don't help. I would recommend going to get the congestion under control if that's what's causing the break outs.
Honestly this will sound insane, but the "Chinese Face Map" really helped me. And getting to the root of what the problem is for each region of the face. And chin is always hormonal, so I would maybe go the dr and see what's going on!
