The acne lesions on your forehead seem infected. Did you pick at them? Those on the side of your face look like regular whiteheads. I think you can have your hormones checked, given that you have acne on your chin and your cheek - those locations usually indicate that you may have problems with your sex hormones. The doctor may put you on birth control pills, as they do help alleviate hormone-related acne. As for those on your forehead, drink a lot of water, increase fiber ingestion, and maybe try out benzoyl peroxide = research has shown that it unclogs pores and kills bacteria inside. However, all of those methods described above take months to fully take effects. Curing acne is a long and tough battle. I am still in one myself. Hope you find your cure!

I'm at the doctors this morning, so I'll see what they say, but thank you for your reply!! I'm trying to drink a lot of water, but eating fibre is an issue for me anyway

Visited the doctor and he's put me on Dianette which is a form of the contraceptive pill, no clue if it'll help but I'm optimistic about it! Going to drink lots of water still and hope for the best

Yay! Glad you got help! Beware though, the BC pills may make your acne look worse before making it get better. Give it at least 5 months I'd say. It takes a long time for your body to adjust to synthetic hormones.

in two months I've been referred to a dermatologist, but my doctor wants to see me in two months is to check the progress of the tablets
