I use toner on mine and also don't prop your chin with your hands

^ I agree. the oil and dirt from your hands will transfer to your chin if you rub it a lot or are always touching your chin.

Try natural tea tree oil to help the pimple go away :) pimples on the jawline are caused by stress or increase in hormones. I get bad breakouts along there after a bad day or a stressful week :(

My mom always tells me to get a napkin/tissue and put a little hand sanitizer (because of the alcohol in it) on it and put it on the pimple that unjust popped. It helps dry it up, and keep it from getting any infection and reforming again. Hope it helps :)

St.Ives apricot scrub leave it on the blemish overnight it'll decrease by half and keep washing your face regular.

Treat it like you would treat a skinned knee. I think people get so caught up in thr face that they are bumps on their face, that they forget that they're just liks any other open wound and need to heal the same way.

Hahaha those things. I do that all the time. First thing is keep calm because stress causes zits especially around the jaw since those are directly linked to hormones and stress levels. :) disinfect it and get that sucker clean but do not be harsh, wash as regular and no exfoliants! To harsh... Use a good oil free salicsylic acid acne lotion and use aloe Vera or another topical healing gel. Since it is already popped there is no need to dry it out more that'll only damage it. Now you just need to heal it.

All these girls are telling you to dry it out and I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but I wouldn't recommend depriving your skin of moisture and make it over compensate of lack there of. And putting such harsh things on your skin can cause scarring so use a healing gel that is ANTI BACTERIAL. Simple aloe Vera is the best because it kills bacteria, but doesn't dry it up and make it all crusty. If you do dry it out use an INTENSIVE moisturizer after it dries up ok? If you don't heal it it will scar and you will be sad later :(
