Chin acne/monthly cycle
Hello,I am hoping for help with what should be a very simple problem. Following my monthly cycle to a 'T', I get 1-2 very bad and deep chin pimples. They occur 1-2 days before or on the day I get my period and I get another minor one 1-2 days on or around ovulation. It follows my cycle exactly and no amount of topical acne medication (besides oral antibiotics) will prevent them. It is always in the chin and I've been dealing with this problem for years. ABC homeopathy suggests Hydrastis Canadensis for chin acne. Would others recommend this or anything else? Thank you!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
I get cramps in the first 24-48 hours (on a scale of 1-10, they are a 4 or 5), but that's about it. A little emotional but body temp is normal and energy level is normal. Appetite doesn't really change either.
