Actually you don't need to allow public access to get the profile picture since you can get the USER_ID. Though the USER_ID you can navigate to the profile picture easily.

function checkLoginState() {
    FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
        statusChangeCallback(response);
        console.log('Welcome!  Fetching your information.... ');
        var url = '/me?fields=id,name';
        FB.api(url, function(response) {
             var linkpp = 'https://graph.facebook.com/' + response.id + '/picture?type=large';
             document.getElementById("id_of_link_tag").href = linkpp;
        });
    });
}

You can change the type in variable linkpp to type=small which returns a low resolution image.

var linkpp = 'https://graph.facebook.com/' + response.id + '/picture?type=small';
