Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a teenager, and I noticed that my face and hair typically gather quite a bit of oil, and thus, my face can develop quite a bit of acne. Are there any recommendations or a way to send a photo? Below my chin is quite a bit, as is the right side of my chin. These are my main areas, with the occasional forehead whitehead. I use charcoal cleansing every morning and evening before bed. Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your history and photos (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You have a few acne on the cheek and neck. However, neck and chin lesions are not the only acne. I noticed you also have some kind of rashes over these areas, and as you mentioned, have these rashes been there for a long time? Have you had severe acne in these areas before? Do you have itching over the chin and neck area? Also, over the neck and chin area, bumps are bigger in size. Are these pimples hard to feel? These questions will help me provide you with satisfactory treatment.
I hope this helps.
Kindly revert in case of further queries.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for the reply.
My neck and chin used to have severe acne, and I occasionally would get a small pimple that would go away. I believe it might have been rashes. These days, my neck and chin are not very itchy, but when I wake up late, or my face is really oily, I notice I would get itchy. The bumps on my chin are a bit hard under the skin; it feels hard if you softly press it inward. They keep their shape.
Thank you.
