4. Stress

Triggers hormonal changes that can increase oil production, leading to clogged pores.

5. Dirty Phones or Hands

Frequently touching your chin or resting your face in your hands can transfer bacteria and oils.

Phones, masks, or dirty pillowcases can also contribute to chin breakouts.

For illustrative purpose only

For persistent or severe breakouts, conditions like PCOS, adrenal disorders, or other hormonal imbalances may be involved.

Waxing or shaving the chin area can irritate hair follicles.

Some lip balms, beard oils, or face creams might clog pores around the chin.

If your chin acne is persistent or painful, especially if it’s cystic or hormonal, it’s a good idea to consult a dermatologist.
