Acne eh?

I got these acne like things around my chin area. Theyre not white or black heads, theyre just red, zit sized dot things.. Anyone got a home remidy =], treatment, and or a way to mask them (not makup) to make them go away?

thanks

a few things can help if they are acne...any benzoyl peroxide type product...a salicylic(beta hydroxy acid) product...and believe it or not, milk of magnesia...applied topically...
a good salicylic acid product.. clearasil's acne fighting daily moisturizer( about 3 bucks a tube at walmart or any drug/grocery store), salicylic acid is not only an antimicrobial product, it exfoliates pores and reduces irritation...being that it is acidic, it will slightly sting when applied initially, especially if on freshly shaved skin, but barring that your skin is quite sensitive it should diminish quickly
milk of magnesia has magnesium which when applied topically does help diminish oil produced by skin...besides being absorbent, it is also antibacterial...
