need acne advice please!

So I keep getting these weird white blackheads on my chin, it's not a whitehead bc I can't squeeze them and they are tiny like a blackhead but white inside. It's not really visible unless you look very closely. Now sometimes I can squeeze them, other times I can't, and that is when they become deep acne, but the one that doesn't go away for a month and leaves a scar forever. It doesn't happen often but still it's very annoying. 

I'm using AHAs like glycolic and lactic acid, and BHA too. I tried the ordinary, paula's choice, drunk elephant and they did help but I still get these sometimes. I only exfoliate 2x a week and I have dry skin. I'm at the point now that I think I will have this forever. 

 

Anyone has similar issues? Thanks in advance!

Re: need acne advice please!

Sounds like you are describing milia. This is very common and normal on the chin area. Do not squeeze/pop or try to remove them yourself! This will only lead to scarring. Going to an esthetician to get them professionally treated is the best option.

This could be comedonal acne! It's super common. I recommend talking to your family doctor/dermatologist because it can be annoying to get rid of in some cases. Hope this helps
