Girls, I have my engagement in a week, but for some reason, I have huge pimples on my chin, probably due to stress. My mom told me to put toothpaste on them to dry them out, but it actually made it worse; now my whole face is bright red. Do you have any urgent suggestions? I can't even cover these bumps with concealer; I'm really about to cry. Isn't there any solution for this?
I experienced the same thing too; I had a swollen one on my chin that morning. Just like your mom said, when I put toothpaste on it, I ended up with a bright red mark as well. I was just trying to ice it directly to reduce the swelling.
Don't put anything on your skin at home anymore, just go to a dermatologist first thing in the morning and explain the situation. If you say you have an engagement, they'll give you an injection to reduce the swelling right away or prescribe some drying mixture.
Acne on the chin usually comes from stress, to be honest, it's a very normal situation before an engagement. You've basically burned that area with toothpaste; right now, rather than treating the infection, you need to calm that irritation down.
