[Acne] Recurring underskin pimples on chin that leave dark pigmentation spots

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hello,I decided to turn to Reddit after being unable to find help elsewhere. For about 2 years, I've had a problem of pimples under skin. However, they are exclusive to a rather small area on my chin. I only have one of those pimples at a time. If it is left untouched, it can stay there for 7 or 8 months. The pimple does not form a whitehead, and just disappears, leaving a dark pigmentation spot.I started using Skinoren cream after going to a dermatologist because of the pigmentation spot that wouldn't disappear, and she advised me to use it on any other pimples that might pop up. I've been doing it ever since, and it did seem to work on smaller ones, however, it appears to be a temporary solution.Last month, a new large pimple under skin appeared (they can be around 5-6mm wide), and I went to get a face cleaning. After the procedure, the cosmetologist told me to buy Avene cleanser, which I've been using. During the next few days, I went through the process of the pimple forming a whitehead and then scabbing at least three times. It did get decreased in size a lot, though it didn't seem to have completely disappeared, so I went to see the same cosmetologist again. According to her, it wasn't a pimple, but an enlarged lymph. I had the face cleaning done either way.However, it doesn't seem to be helping, as a new pimple under skin started forming today.I'm feeling desperate, as the visits to the private clinic are rather costly, and don't seem to be helping with the root of the problem. Going to skin doctors at the regular, free clinic is out of question as the only thing they do is try to get over with the visit as soon as possible.I also tried teatree oil, which only works on open pimples, and I'm using Bioderma Sebium Hydra moisturizing cream, which the first dermatologist also told me to use. I don't wear any makeup, except for occasional lipgloss. Never had any real skin problems, apart from single pimples that rarely appeared and quickly went away. I'll soon be 19 years old, in case this information could help.I have a picture, though of a rather bad quality: http://i.imgur.com/J7Javur.jpg If the need was expressed, I could try to take a better one in the daylight tomorrow. In the top picture, I marked the spots that were affected by the problem, since it might not be clear due to the quality. On the left, the newly-forming pimple can be seen. On its right, the pigmentation spots are visible. The darker one is from the recent pimple under skin, while the faded one appeared after the very first pimple was gone.I'll add another thing, if I look closely at the mirror, I can see that some pores have that white stuff inside them, however, it's all under the skin, though I noticed that smaller pimples sometimes appear in those spots.Before going to pay for a visit again, I wanted to ask whether anyone had/encountered a similar problem, and could offer possible solutions. If there was anyone who could help me, I'd be grateful for it for my whole life.I'm sorry for the wall of text, I've tried to make it as detailed as possible, and didn't notice how the post got out of control.
