Patient: Hi I have red sore itchy spot like bumps on my chin and jawline, the dont seem to be spots as i can not burst them, i have 9 in total from one side to the other and well spread out. I dont normally suffer from spots either. I am 35 Male I have tried sudo crem and it helps for a while but the are very itchy and sore when left alone?? Do you have any ideas to what it may be that is causing this? Doctor: HiThanks for your query.You seem to be developing superficial folliculitis.Avoid using oils or moisturizers over the face.Use a topical antibiotic cream over the affected area twice a day.You can take oral antibiotics for the same also.Do not apply any irritants or dettol over the face.Do not use and steroid creams over the affected areas.Hope it helps.DR Geetika Paul
