Please help my spotty chin (with pics)

Out of nowhere I’ve started to get a very red/ spotty chin. I’ve never had problems with my skin before and don’t really know how to deal with it.
I have tried CeraVe blemish control gel and CeraVe moisturiser neither of which helped. Niacinamide 10% from the minimalist which I think has reduced redness a bit. Superdrug retinol night cream has made my skin very soft but made no difference to my chin. I was my face morning and evening with Superdrug hot cloth cleanser and use a light moisturiser.

Im thinking of trying salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide but am a bit clueless and don’t want to endlessly buy products. Also both say they are for oily skin and I don’t have oily skin (if anything it’s dry) or large pores, the bumps are kind of under the skin.

I think the cause is hormonal and generally seems worse for the second half of my cycle but I don’t know how to fix it. Please help, it’s starting to get me down!

If it's confirmed as Perioral Dermatitis then there is a helpful support page on Facebook (perioral dermatitis support) :avoiding any nice products 😔 & following sulphur regime really helped me along with Metro gel from the gp ! Good luck as its a total pain!!
