25yo f. had deepish acne only on chin since 18. doc gave prescript gel that didn't help. have great skin hygene, what else can cause it?

Need to be Rx'd: You don't identify a cause. Acne is unrelated to hygiene or lifestyle and only marginally to diet. If you acne is 'deepish', topical rx is unlikely to clear you. If your personal physician doesn't feel comfortable with stronger rx, get with a specialist. All acne can be managed until it remits on its own. Best wishes.
