Hi,
>>I have been breaking out with small little blister-like pimples on my chin! I am a 35 y/o female and throughout my life I have never had a problem with acne.
<<I have no Lexapro experience, but boy do I have acne experience! It's interesting that the acne is localized on your chin. Are you doing anything new like resting your chin on your hands? Using a new phone at work? Not taking makeup off at night? Do you live somewhere the climate has recently changed? I know sometimes when it gets colder here suddenly, I get a bit of a breakout.You could try using Cetaphil cleanser twice a day. It's very gentle yet cleans well. And try not to touch your face. Wash off the phones you use, and if you use makeup, throw out what you've got and get new stuff. The old stuff could be contaminated with bacteria.
Good luck!
Susan
