Mysterious pimples on chin - what is the appropriate treatment for this? (photos)

Question

Hello, I have these pimples on my chin since as long as I remember. I'm trying to grow some hair out and was wondering if they're actually hair follicles and if yes what is the appropriate treatment to get them to grow. Thanks

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis.  We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to discuss the best treatment options for your type of skin. .

These are commonly seen. With proper exfoliation and at-home microneedling, skin will improve naturally over time. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
