Acne on the forehead or acne on chin causes are pretty similar to that of an acne breakout in other parts of the body and the reason for this is blockage of the hair follicles. The blockage of the hair follicles resulting in acne is mainly because of a rise in the oil production as well as an accumulation of the dead skin cells. The buildup of dirt and dead skin block the pores of the skin and therefore restrict the sebum flow from the skin. This creates a highly susceptible ground for the growth of viruses and bacteria thereby resulting in acne on the chin and other parts of the body. It has been observed that some of the most common acne on the chin causes are hormonal problems, high levels of stress, unbalanced diet schedule, presence of impurities and toxins in the body. Additionally, chin acne is known to be more commonly found in women on account of the hormonal fluctuations they tend to experience during various stages of their lives. While referring to the side effects of the condition one would notice that acne on the chin causes pain in the area as also affects the aesthetic beauty of the person. One of the most important remedies for acne on the chin and acne on the forehead is to follow a healthy diet that includes plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables that provide vitamin and minerals that keep the body and the skin healthy. stress is also a common trigger for acne flare-ups on various parts of the body. Therefore, one of the natural remedies for acne on the chin, forehead or any other part of the body is to minimize stress by taking up some activity such as yoga, meditation or any such relaxation technique. Similarly those suffering from acne should not wash their skin excessively as this will dry out the skin. Skin also needs some of its natural oil to be healthy and if one tries to wash that oil off often the skin will instead work extra hard trying to replaces the washed off oil thereby worsening the acne problem. Those prone to acne should also avoid junk foods that are oily and sugary because they are known to aggravate acne flare ups. One should also try and apply a mild moisturizer to keep the skin soft and nourished however one should not overdo it as this may further clog the skin. It has also been observed that there are certain birth control pills that tend to control acne on the chin as they minimize the production of androgen. However these birth control pills should be recommended by the doctor only.

Acne is caused by the blockage of a hair follicle - which is the pore though which a strand of hair emerges. The hair follicles contain glands which produce the body’s natural oil called sebum. In some cases, dead skin cells within the follicle combine with the sebum to form a plug. This plug may cause a bacterial infection within the pore and the resultant inflammation is seen as an acne lesion. An outbreak of acne is generally caused by excessive sebum production coupled with excessive skin cell shedding. This is generally observed most in young adolescents and is caused by hormonal fluctuations. An acne lesion is also known as a pimple.
Acne treatments are available in oral or topical form. However it is not advisable to self-medicate with over the counter oral antibiotics. Topical retinoids too can be extremely harsh on the skin and so it is better to avoid them as well. Topical bactericidals have been seen to be extremely effective in dealing with acne. You will have to follow a regular skin plan to eliminate acne as well as prevent further recurrences. Homemade acne treatments along with topical bactericidal applications can be used as topical applications tend to leave the skin dry and irritated. Benzoyl peroxide is an effective acne treatment as it both kills the bacteria within the acne lesion as well as it helps to unclog the blockage.
Substitute your regular face wash for a medicated one that contains Benzoyl peroxide. Use this face wash at least twice a day to keep your skin clean and reduce the amount of bacteria present. Benzoyl peroxide tends to leave the skin dry, so make sure that you use a moisturizer after you wash your face. Do not use a cosmetic moisturizer as most of them contain chemicals that can irritate your pimples. Mix a spoon each of coconut oil, olive oil and almond oil. Pour this into a clean bottle along with a glass of warm distilled or boiled water. Cap the bottle and shake thoroughly so that the oil and water mix. Soak a ball of cotton in this homemade moisturizer and run it lightly over your face to moisturize it.
You can use a topical application containing Benzoyl peroxide as a night cream. This will help to control the acne but will leave your skin very dry. Soak a few almonds in water overnight and grind them into a fine paste the next morning. Use this paste along with a little warm water to gently wash off the cream and leave your skin moisturized. You can also mix a little coconut milk, rice flour and honey together so that it forms a thick paste. Add a finely chopped garlic clove to this paste and scrub your skin - especially your forehead and chin very gently with it. Coconut milk helps to moisturize your skin while honey helps to nourish it. Rice flour acts as an exfoliator and garlic is an effective bactericidal. This is therefore a gentle acne face scrub that can be used every alternate day. Follow this regular skin care plan to keep your skin free of acne.
