Acne Around My Mouth in Q&A

What is with the acne around my mouth? For the last month or so, I've had a serious acne breakout, but it seems to be confined to the area around my mouth and chin. I've been a Proactiv user for a few years now, and it really cleared my acne. Of course, I have the occasional breakout here and there, but it's never been this bad. I get rid of one, and another pops up. Any likely culprits?

Sprinkle replied: "Coldsores?"

Stephen G replied: "It could be an STD if you've been doing sexual activity with one or more likely with more guys with a questionably background."

*** replied: "i guess that is the place where you break out"

Monterrey replied: "I have moderate acne and I have been using Proactiv solution for 5 years now with no breakouts. The one rule I have to follow is to use very warm to hot water when cleansing and to cleanse at least 2 to 3 times per day - every day or I will breakout under my jaw line, chin and under my nose area. My mom has cystic acne with a real diagnosis of cystic acne. She had the type of cystic acne that was huge, and pretty much 75% of her face and neck really hurt and burned in the acne affected areas. When she got on Proactiv solution about a decade ago, it took about 3 months to clear up her cystic acne with Proactiv solution - extra strength solution. If you order from customer service with no preferences - they will automatically ship you the Regular strength that I am on with my moderate acne. If you call customer service and request for extra strength - they will not charge extra for the extra strength formula. My mom has been cystic acne free for 10 years with the extra strenght Proactiv solution at twice per day to sometimes three times per day and found to be alot better to apply the toner with your bare hands rather than with a cotton circle or square or with a cotton puff. She also has to let the toner completely soak in - inside her pores before applying the repairing lotion. Another mistake she made years ago when she first started to use Proactiv solution is not cleansing for an entire 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes with the cleansing wash like she does now. Hope this helps. (If you use the mask once per week for 5 to 10 minutes - this will also help too.)"

MissyBee replied: "Likely culprit number one; your calcium to vitamin C ratio. My guess is that you have been consuming much more dairy than you do citrus. Likely culprit number two; you consume potato chips and/or chocolate, and do not always wash around your mouth within three hours afterward. Likely culprit number three; you have not been getting quite enough sleep, sweat, or sunshine. Likely culprit number four; verbal reservations, and stifled communications? Likely culprit number five; not enough fat and grains (ie:bread and butter, oatmeal and bananas) in your diet to support the skin during a current or impending growth spurt/ weight gain cycle. Explanation: Remember that new skin cells are being born to replace old skin cells that are flaking off, and that some of those old cells are being pushed to the top. As well, your body is evacuating dirts, oils, and toxins through the sweat glands/pores. Warmth and sunshine help to draw them to the surface, and stimulate production of vitamin D."

Why do I have acne around my mouth? And no i do not have syphilis. But the only place i get acne is around my mouth, and it's not just a couple zits.

Cassie M replied: "because u eat greasy, oily foods which, if it isnt wiped off, can sink into ur skin try eating less greasy food"

ryno replied: "because you don't clean your face around your mouth good enough"

matushkins replied: "you eat oily food if u want to get rid of it squeeze a lemon and rub the juices on your face it worked for me to it should work for you"

rollingcandies replied: "i think the grease from your food causes it so you should clean the area around your mouth thoroughly after you eat :)"

autum replied: "pizza the pepperonis get around your mouth and your skin gets covered with oils and it cant breath so what you need to do is put vapor rub on it so it can circulate and breathe a little then try some candle wax to burn off the zits that already showed up the day or you can take a blow dryer and try to dry the little zits off good luck"

do you think proactiv will help get rid of the acne around my mouth? For sum tyme now ihad problems wivv acne nd now my face is clear thanz to proactiv except around my mouth.

Zachary S replied: "yes but i hope you know you could have just gotten benzoyl peroxide for $2 at the drugstore. (the same active ingredient). Proactive is just a scam in pretty packaging to charge alot."

Camden C replied: "Perhaps you should stop stuffing your face full of dougnuts, twinkes, and french fries and taken a shower every once in a while."

righ14 replied: "People are being jerks, just because you have acne doesnt mean you have herpies or your fat. omg. 8o they're so meannnn. yes, i do think it will get rid of it. (IF proactive works on you) i had very very very mild acne right on my cheeks and it made my whole face brake out. so i had to stop using it. i use clean and clear now. its muuchh cheeper, doesnt dry out my skin, and keeps me acne free all over :)"

Violet S replied: "dont listen to those pplz! up there i have the same issue and im trying to get rid of it! and it gets worst every week on the same spots i get a pimple and it hurts and pisses me off! >:("

I have acne around my mouth the seems to never go away? I don't have bad ance at all. But it seems like i do always have a couple big zits around my chin by my mouth and such. I went to a dermatologist and got some stuff from them, like i said i dont have acne terribly bad, but does anyone have any great advice for what gets rid of it the fastest, or what prevents it the best? Thanks

Clue replied: "by any chance do you rubb your chin area with your phone or fingertips? sometimes the bacteria on the phone and fingers rub into your skin irritating your pores and getting them clogged. I really can't think of anything else. hope you skin clears."

What could be the matter if you have acne problems around your mouth? I have really bad acne around my mouth area and I want to know what could be causing that? i also have acne problems on my forhead? any advice please?

Cat replied: "Your forehead and mouth are in your t-zone which is a chronically oily area. If it's bad enough, see a dermatologist. It really helped me. I also found out that stridex pads are fantastic for touching up every now and then - especially the t-zone. It soaks up the dirt and oil without overdrying."

Simplythebest replied: "For any acne anywhere, i suggest you use a crushed aspirin around your mouth and forhead the chemicals inside an aspirin are alot better and cheaper than cream. Leave it on for 1 - 2 hours then rinse and expect it to go away within a day or two."

cutie replied: "go to faceforgirls.piczo.com and its ok if you a boy.but u can talk to people to see wats wrong wit ur face and talk about products. its a safe site and no bad words a aloud i can baned people to."

Acne around mouth and sides of nose? I took accutane like 5 years ago for half a year, and it cleared up! Since then i got a zit here and there till now...now im getting small acne around my mouth and sides of nose, and some big ones around my neck and shoulders, but no where else on my body... what could be the cause of this and how can i stop it? I take a shower every night washing my whole body very good, and keep my hands clean most of the day

Rossie replied: "I see you have acne not only on your face, but also all over your body, so what you need is a complete SYSTEM. Why? Because you can't effectively fight body acne with topical facial treatment... you also need to fight it from inside. That's why I heartily recommend ClearPores: It consists of natural ingredients and works for a lot of people with severe acne problem. Hope this helps!"

Does accutane cure acne around mouth and chin (hormonal)? I have been told that acne around the mouth is related to a hormonal imbalance. Does acctane cure this type of acne or will it come back due to hormones once the course is finished?

firebird replied: "Accutane helps any where, I used it years ago and it cleared up my acne for good. It is a long lasting drug. They say there could be side effects, I've never had any though."

Painful acne around mouth area? I am constantly getting sore small, deep red bumps (acne is what it appears to me) all around my mouth. Sometimes they are on the top of my lip, right above my lip, sometimes they are around the base of my nose near my lip, and sometimes they are right near the bottom lip. There is never a week where I do not have them and they hurt like hell becuase they are the deep ones! I can never seem to get rid of them and have tried everything under the sun! Any ideas or suggestions??? I thought maybe I might be allergic to flouride. I have heard that breakouts around your mouth can be associated with it. Who knows? ? Any ideas and how to get rid of this crap! And BTW, they are not cold sores!

rowdysunsetart replied: "You might want to try lysine..usually any sores that come up on the mouth and yours sounds like they might be sores compared to pimples...are because lysine in the system is low...you can get some seabreeze and put on them which should dry them out quickly...but you need to make sure you are getting all your vitamins and minerals...and lots of water...hope it helps"

TG123 replied: "there called milia and usually occur from improper cleansing they could be caused from your makeup and crest brand is the worst for causing these when you cleanse make sure to concentrate on those areas also make sure you use your exfoliater 2 to 3x a week and no more than that over exfoliating can also cause this"

vertexclimber replied: "Tea tee oil pads and blemish sticks. Drink tons of water"

infinite knowledge replied: "you have acne around your T-zone, which is the most prominent place for it. The T-zone extends from the chin to the forehead, then from across the forehead. This areas are the most porous, thus they get acne easiest. The best way to deal with acne is to visit a dermatologist. Everyone has different skin types, so what works for one person on yahoo might not work for you. A dermatologist will be able to prescribe perfect the solution to your acne. Until your appointment, i recommend just using an aveeno cleanser and clearasil vanishing cream. Both of these are widely referred by doctors."

supaflyfriend replied: "Use any kind of toothpaste. just leave it on for a while. You can also use the orange clean and clear morning burst cleanser to prevent anymore zits popping up."

Mohd Izahan replied: "Pimple scars are the marks left behind after the pimple is cured. They can appear as discolorations or dark red bumps. This can be very disturbing for those who care about their physical appearance. Here are some of the Home Remedies for pimple scars : 1. Tomato, which has vitamin A. Vitamin A, controls the production of excess sebum and also an excellent antioxidant. Slice tomato and apply slices directly to skin. 2. Your skin needs water to keep the skin plump, remove toxins and build new skin cells.

Dr.stephine replied: "Blackheads on the nose are common in most people. Getting rid of them can be quite difficult, with most people using the wrong methods that causes serious damage to their pores. Clearing out your pores of the sebum oil which causes blackheads can be done in a couple of ways, lets take a look. One popular way of clearing out the dirt is to use steam. You can either buy a face steamer which is shaped to fit around the mouth and nose area, this is what i used to do as the steam was more focused on the area we are looking to clean. You can also place your face over a bowl of steaming hot water and place a towel over your head to keep the steam enclosed. Take care when using this method, hot water and steam can be very dangerous. Once you have steamed your nose area, you can simply now clean away the dirt by using warm water and cotton wool or a soft face cloth. Don't get tempted to squeeze your blackheads, this will only cause problems for your skin including scarring and infections. You can use this method everyday if you wish, not only will it clear out the sebum plugs, but it will keep your skin soft and clean. Another way of clearing blackheads from the nose is to clean the area with scrubs, made from natural products such as egg white, green tea and fresh mint. You can make these scrubs easily, here's how. 1. Mix egg white with honey in a small bowl. Apply this mixture gently to the affected area with cotton wool. Wipe around the nose and cheek area leaving for 10 minutes, then wash off with warm water. Be careful when using this method that you don't let any uncooked raw egg into your mouth. 2. Green tea mixed with a small amount of water can be applied to the skin to try and eliminate your blackheads. 3. Fresh mint can also be made into a smooth paste with a little water. Simply apply this solution to the nose area, massaging in with cotton wool. You can do this a couple of times a week to help eliminate your blackheads. These are just some simple ways of getting rid of your blackheads. Before trying any of these natural remedies, always try on a small area first. This is to make sure you don't have any adverse affects to your skin."

Esteban replied: "What I did when I had that problem was washing my face a lot, with soap, many times a day. Whenever you feel your skin is dirty or greasy, wash it. That helps a lot. Also drink a lot of water and don't eat too many chocolate. Some say toothpaste is useful, but it didn't help me. Hope I helped."

Aaron replied: "Hi, I think I have the perfect solution. A mate of mine is selling an ebook on Ebay for 99p specifically on how to get rid of acne, and it's got loads of stuff on there with home remedies. It's a bit annoying that it costs money, but it's so far saved me much more money than 99p with what I've learnt from it. To find it just type in 'How to get rid of acne' on the UK Ebay page and it should come up. Anyway, have a look an see what you think"
