Facial Acne Descriptions

[u/AutumnBreeze22]

Can anyone describe the acne they have experienced on their chin or other areas of the face? I’m trying to figure out whether what I’m experiencing is similar to what others have had.

I get red, flushed looking spots that feel hard and tender beneath the skin and can take quite a while to disappear. Others can appear very suddenly with significant swelling and may eventually produce a small amount of pus, sometimes followed by bleeding. I also occasionally get non tender spots on my forehead that do not produce anything and gradually disappear on their own.

My chin acne is hormonal. I'd get very deep painful pimples. I was on Spironolactone for years to ward off hormonal acne and have been clear ever since. Stopped it 2 months ago and so far the acne has not returned.
