i've never had any issues with acne before, but recently(about an month) i have had it all along my jaw and chin. i am not sure what is going on. i was getting a wax and my waxer said it was probably hormone related. i am frusterated with it, and i want it to go away!
any easy solutions for it to clear up?

thats the only place i ever broke out..and it didnt get bad until i was like 23ish. my derm said that people who have pcos tend to break out more on their chin/jaw line....so if its not allergies..its pcos related for sure. try natures cure..its a pill/creme combo that you can piick up in any drug store or walmart/target type places. it helped me for a long while...and its all natural i believe...

24, known I have PCOS since i was 16, RX'd in 2006, older sister also has PCOS.
That's exactly where I tend to break out. I have pretty clear skin except for that area occasionally. I just drink a lot of water and try to keep my face clean and don't wear a lot of makeup.
my doctor told me that we have our sweat glands there, so women with pcos usually always have a acne problem along their jaw line. he said it is hard to make it go away unless your pcos is on the down low... he said having a baby will help a lot, but during your pregnancy your acne might get even worse.... so how fun will that be?!
I have the same problem and have had it for 6 years now .. i have tried several things and nothing has helped... i have just learned to live with it for now.. but there are times where it will clear up on its own for 3 days then come right back full force. I dont wear any make-up and i keep hands away from my face. drink lots of water and apply alcohol to my face 3 times a day its the only thing that i have had work the best for me!
thanks so much girls. i will definatly try some of those things. i have been eating bad these past few weeks and i am sure that its not helping!
i appreciate all the info!

Hey Rach! I came across your thread and just wanted to say I got the same thing going on. The rest of my face cleared just fine, except for this darn jaw line!!!! Hmmm... I was wondering the same thing. Im trying to wash twice a day and drink lots of water.
I hope it clears up for you!! Smoochies hun!

That's the only place i've ever broken out on my face, as well. Maybe one on my forehead every now and then, but my jaw is eat up with them! GRRRR.

I'm glad to have found this thread. I have something similar, but it's not all the time. Recently it's getting worse. I'm sure all these hormones are to blame. Has anyone had any luck with washes or creams?

I get a lot of acne on my chin and mouth area...which is weird because until I started showing symptoms of PCOS and subsequently got DX, I don't remember that being a particular trouble area for me.
I had to change my makeup - from MAC to Bare Minerals - AND change my skincare routine. Now I am getting re-acquainted with Stridex and other products such as that.
The things that have worked for me are:
1. Switching makeups
2. Spot treatments from Origins
3. Proactive
Keep your chin up and keep trying to find something that will help!
