Hey
I'm Davey, and I'm fourteen. I'm female and have acne. I get a cyst or two on my chin at a time (usually) and have quite a few blackheads on my nose. I also have random little zits sometimes, but my forehead is my main concern.
My mom is considering taking me to the dermatologist (her holdback is that for the one she wants to go to is that I need a recommendation from my doctor.. I don't know why I haven't gone to the doctor to get it yet, though),
They are flesh colored bumps, sometimes they are bigger... othertimes they are smaller. They are ALWAYS there though! Also, I have had them since the end of seventh grade. (I'm in almost done with ninth now)

Can you give me an idea on how to get rid of them? And what exactly are they?

I'll attach a photo pretty soon

Okay, I attached the picture.
A: this is almost a year old, but my skin looks about the same (the chins more clear though )
B. My smile's a little dorky, but this was THE day I got my braces off, and I was trying to figure out how to smile because it felt funny
C. this is like the only picture I could find where the light really hit my forehead and you could see the bumps very clearly

Hello you, im a boy of the age 18, and i have your forehead literally, what this is, is closed comedones hit it on google and choose pictures and you will see the exact same thing, im trying to clear my skin up atm by using AVC (apple cider vinegar) in a bottle of water 2 table spoons. and im using BHA 2% salicylic acid form paulas choise and a regualr cleanser and so far ive only seen very small improvements on my forehead. So my suggesting is to go to the dermatologist.

To me, it looks like you have an oily t-zone. I have the same problem. What is your current skin care regimen morning and night? If done right with the right products you can control that oil and thus, control the small bumps you have on your forehead. It looks to me like clogged pores....It doesn't look inflammatory which is good news

Clogged pores. Exfoliate with Mandelic Acid - Vivant's one is good I hear.

And slow down keratinization with keratolytics.

Thanks guys I don't know if this is the REAL reason, but I stopped using my Purpose moisturizer that I've used ever since I've began washing my face when I was in middle school, and for some reason, the bumps are going down! My birthday is Saturday and my foreheads getting reallly smooth I also really love the Neutrogena Foaming Cleanser... I was wary about it, but I decided to try something new! I love it!
