I am having trouble with a sudden outbreak of a large number of pimples on my nose, mouth, and chin about a month ago.

Does anyone know of a good dermatologist or a clinic that specializes in adult acne? I am in my early 40's and I think it may have something to do with hormones such as menopause.

If anyone has any information, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Good evening.
I suddenly got boils on my legs and I showed my home doctor
a picture of them and he said they were bed bugs.
I was really surprised because it was my first time and I got rid of the bed bug and
it went away immediately with steroid ointment.

It looked like a pimple and it happened so suddenly
I thought maybe it was the same thing.

I searched around and found that they are often found in beds in both Japan and the US, so
be careful.

Thanks for your reply.
Is it a bed bug ！ I hadn't thought of that idea. I have an image that bedbugs tend to bite soft parts of the body and if they bite you, they itch enough to scratch you, but I don't itch and I don't see any bite marks on my body. By the way, I also looked at the bed, but could not find any bugs. However, I thought I would try applying the steroid ointment I have once. Thank you for sharing your precious experience.

When I was in my late twenties, I started to get acne around my chin due to hormonal imbalance. （ At that time I was living in Japan and had irregular menstruation and visited a Japanese doctor. ） A hormone test showed a high male hormone level, and the doctor explained to me that when a woman's male hormone level increases, the amount of sebum increases in areas where men grow beards, such as around the chin and mouth, making it easier for acne to appear. After that, I tried various skin care products, but they had no effect at all. When I started taking pills, my acne completely disappeared. I have heard that the pill is not recommended for people in their 40s because the risk of blood clots increases, so I am not sure if the pill would be a good solution for you, sakura. However, since you seem to think that the acne is caused by hormones, I think it would be better to see a gynecologist instead of a dermatologist. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Thank you for your reply. And thank you for your kind words. It sounds like it would be a good idea to have my hormone levels checked once by a gynecologist instead of a dermatologist. I have many ideas, so I will see a gynecologist. Thank you for sharing your valuable experience.
