Acne: Acne occurs when the pores on your skin become blocked with oil, dead skin, or bacteria. Acne can be inheritable and often if your parents had acne when they were your age, you may be more prone to get acne as well. Some people produce more oil then others, etc. Drying soaps and "Acne washes" can help. Sometimes low-dose antibiotics can be Rx'd by your doctor, creams, etc. See your Doctor.

I have a small hard bump on my chin. It hurts a little and is slightly red. I don't think it's a mosquito bite because it doesn't itch and I don't think it's acne either. What is it and how can I get rid of it?
