The jawline and chin are correlated most with hormonal imbalances and stress. For women, this means that they are more likely to break out around your menstrual cycle. Try to reduce stress and get adequate sleep and exercise. This will help to heal and fight blemishes around this area.
The neck and decollete area may be a sign that your body is fighting bacteria to avoid an illness. Give your body and skin a break by sleeping more, meditating, relaxing, and drinking plenty of water. Also, if you notice a breakout or irritation, your skin is probably trying to communicate with you. Take a break, breath, and have a glass of water.
