Chin acne and endometriosis

Does anyone else suffer with really bad spots on their chin?

My skin has been so good throughout my teens, never suffered with acne etc but now I’m 20 and the last few years I’ve been suffering with endo and the spots only appear on my chin.

Is this related to endo or PCOS? The spots are so big and painful.

I have a good diet and skin care routine so I don’t know what else to try to reduce them. Any advice would be amazing 💕

Hey :) I think PCOS particularly just from a post I saw on insta the other day unfortunately :/

I like the la Roche posay effaclar range for skin xx

I seem to have the symptoms of PCOS but my gynae just dismissed it straight away even after surgery last year. I have had high testosterone for like 3 years as well.

I might look into that skin range xx

Yes! I’m 31 and for the past year my face has been breaking out in these awful spots! I find I get them on my chest and neck too. My face used to be so clear.

I’m diagnosed stage 4 Endometriosis, I don’t have PCOS so blaming the Endometriosis and perhaps all the stress and anxiety that comes with it.

Yeah it’s horrible isn’t it! Like I take care of my skin but then I just get massive breakouts around my chin. It really affects my self-esteem but I’ve found sudocrem does reduce the soreness after a few days and size of the spots xx
