This is more than a little embarrassing, but the more stressed I get, the more I seem to break out under my chin.

This is more than a little embarrassing, but the more stressed I get, the more I seem to break out under my chin. I've tried several different cleansers and they make my skin super dry to where it becomes itchy, so then I bought a neutrogena light moisturizer with grapefruit extract to moisturize while still fighting breakouts, but this is actually the best it's looked in months. With 8 1/2 months til the wedding, I expect stress to increase and this to be a real uphill battle. If any of you have dealt with something similar, can you share what worked for you? TIA!

I've seen a few people post this, I'd definitely consult with your dermatologist. While it could be a reaction to wearing a mask, or maybe the cleanser you are using. If you've changed medications it could be a reaction to that. There are so many variables. They will probably prescribe you a cortisone ointment with steroids based on your assessment.

Yes! Bentonite Clay Mask. I have super sensitive skin so I don’t add the ACV, I just use water to mix it. It tightens your face and then I wash it off and follow up with Cetaphil’s Moisturizing Lotion. Works wonders. Good luck!

Thank you, Shakia! I am going to try to find a dermatologist, but assuming they're like all the other doctors offices, I'm going to need to try something in the meantime

Definitely see a dermatologist. All types of insurance should cover dermatologist visits, as long as you find one in network. Whoever you see should be able to get you started on a prescription topical, which should hopefully clear things up!

No problem. In the meantime, you might try buying some OTC Differin gel. This stuff has worked magic on me.

My skin is incredibly sensitive and the one thing I can always count on is aloe vera gel straight from the plant, I even make it into little cubes of ice to store and use as I need it.

Update - thank you all for the advice. I spoke with a dermatologist over the phone and can't get an appointment for a little while yet, but I have started a curology account and my 1st shipment is coming next week. They are saying the acid treatments in a lot of the over the counter stuff i've been using are probably a big part of my problem, so we'll see how this goes. I'm scheduled to go in to the derm in July, though, too .

If stress is the main reason for this problem, you should stay as calm as possible. You may visit the best dermatologist on planet Earth but it would not help until the stress has an influence on you.

Is that the 1st time you've acknowledged it out loud? It isn't the same, but I survived uterine cancer at 29. My heart is with you, and if you need to vent, feel free to send me a pm. ❤

Normally when you break out around your chin and under it means a hormonal problem. Try to reduce food with steroids. You can try a chemical peel for your skin helps clear up acne and acnevdark spots.

The only thing that worked for my adult acne (which came back in my 30s...fun, fun!) is Rodan and Fields Unblemish Line. My cousin Jeanette is a consultant for them (she's also a nurse practitioner) and suggested I give it a try! When you work with a consultant you get all kinds of special discounts too I attached my super ugly B/A photos just for you to see that it actually works. It's not cheap, but well worth it IMO. I'm happy to connect you to Jeannette if you'd like some more info about the R + F products. I was super skeptical because I have tried everything...but it's the best.
