White acne looking small white erruption
Hello
I see many small white acne looking erruptions on my chin. But unlike acne, it never goes away. It has been with me around 4-5 years I think. I actually didn't noticed before.
I wanted to understand what that is. How can I get rid of these?
I have oily acne prone skin and I am applying LA Shield sunscreen. I sweat a lot too.
Can these be due to applying sunscreen while i sweat a lot in summer? Is sunscreen bad to be applied on my face as i sweat a lot?
Or is it due to something else?

The picture isn't clear but could be sebaceous hyperplasia or white heads or even dyssebacia. A clearer photo would be better. If you don't have comedones generally, sunscreen less likely cause. Use suncros matte finish sunscreen is water and sweat resistant.
