Breaking out from making out?
I don't typically have that bad of skin, I will break out a bit around the week before my period starts and the rest of the month my skin is typically pretty clear. I use a soap free cleanser daily and during break outs use a salicylic acid spot treatment, the same as I've been using for months.
Around three weeks ago my boyfriend and I were together the day after he had shaven, so his face was pretty rough, and afterwards the skin around my mouth and particularly my chin were pretty raw.
Ever since then my chin has been breaking out like crazy and it's getting pretty bad. I've been using my spot treatment but it seems like the blemishes keep coming even as others heal. I'm 20 years old and went through puberty long enough ago that this could not be related.
My questions:
Could this be related to my cleanser change I made around 6 months ago even though I saw no worsening until this incident?
Is it from my boyfriend's stubble? Would it be from the physical irritation or possibly chemical of some kind? (like maybe his shave gel?)
How can I make the breakouts stop now that they've started?
How can I prevent this in the future? (other than not making out right after he shaves?)

The cleanser change from six months ago probably isn't the issue. Neither is your boyriends stubble, but I'm sure the roughness irritated the area. I would ask him if he used any new face products lately, you could have had a reaction to that.Or maybe it was a random occurence.
