poor old dd, hormones have been raging for a year.

in the last few months some spectacular and very deep blackheads are appearing on her chin, and her cheeks. She's quite embarrassed, as she says noone else has them. She's quite sad.

Some on her chin have turned in to nasty spots, so do i try and get rid by squeezing?

I tried one earlier and she cried as they are so deep. I can't see what else will get rid of them, as they have been developing on the quiet and as i said are deep. If the pore is open/empty then maybe i could then treat with some mild wash? Using a wash now, on top of them surely won't shift them.

I'm considerably older than your DD but also suffer from chin acne linked to hormones. I use neat lemon juice on a cotton wool ball on that area twice a day, wipe it over and moisturise in the morning or just leave it in the evening. it has made a huge difference to the spots and scars.

my urge to squeeze them is great.

am so surprised there's so many.
