Breakouts aren’t just a skin issue — they’re often your body’s way of communicating with you. Understanding where and why pimples appear can help you treat the root cause rather than just the surface symptoms.
Hormonal breakouts around the jawline and chin are frequently linked to fluctuations in hormones. Stress, menstrual cycles, and hormonal imbalances can trigger deep, painful cystic spots in this area. Treatments like salicylic peels, microneedling and LED therapy at Hello Skin Clinic Birmingham can help calm inflammation and regulate oil production.
Pimples on the forehead often point to stress, poor sleep, or buildup from hair products like dry shampoo or styling gel. A HydraFacial can deep-cleanse clogged pores and remove product residue, while improving hydration and clarity.
Cheeks are highly reactive to bacteria from daily items that touch your face. Your phone, pillowcase, and makeup brushes can all transfer bacteria and oil to your skin. Regularly cleaning pillowcases and makeup brushes can reduce flare-ups. In-clinic extractions or antibacterial LED blue light can speed up healing.
Blackheads and congestion in the T-zone (nose, chin and forehead) are usually a sign of oil buildup and clogged pores. HydraFacials, BioRePeel and pore-refining microneedling are some of Birmingham’s most effective solutions for clearing congestion and refining texture.
If your breakouts keep recurring, personalised acne treatment plans at Hello Skin Clinic Birmingham can help identify triggers and restore long-term clarity.
