Hey, so I am on my periods now and I broke out on my jawline.I never break out there..its for the first time.
also I have hypothyroidism..and recently my doctor halved my dose of supplementary thyroid tablets.
so exactly I don't know..why I broke out at the jawline.
also I read that hypothyroidism leads to break out there.
please give me some inputs!!

This sounds crazy but I breakout on my jawline when my headphone cord rubs against my face when I work out. I just clean the cord with a alcohol wipe and I generally stop getting breakouts.

Hi Devyani,

Anything hormonal can cause you to break out along your jawline and chin. If this just happened as a result of new medication, I recommend speaking with your doctor and seeing if there is an alternative or any suggestions (s) he has for you.

@Alicia:yes I will talk to my doctor!
sugar won't break me out?? I don't scrub when I am breaking out as it. will worsen it.

Sugar applied topically is actually really good for your skin - it sloughs off dead skin cells so your skincare products can penetrate deeper and works as a natural humectant to nourish dry areas. Complex carbs and refined sugars can make you break out when digested though - so it gets a bit confusing.

However yes - don't use a scrub on a current breakout as it can aggravate it - but it'll be great once it's cleared up!
