Hello all, I've been having trouble with my skin for a while now. Im 13 which, I know, quite young and your skin is going through acne, blackheads ect. However, I have noticed that I have seemingly untreatable bumps on my forehead. They're flesh coloured, and although I dont usually pick at them, I've tried and they're pretty hard to pop unless they're quite big. They've been on my face for around a year now, give or take some time. I've researched and read as much as possible, and tried different methods but nothing seems to work. The closest to the description of them that I found online was "closed comedones". I've tried to use an exfoliating scrub (I've been using the Garnier Skin Active Daily Exfoliating Scrub) for maybe around a week - not a long time at all. Right after I use it as per instructions, my skin looks better but during the day the spots seem to come back. They're scattered all around my forehead, as well as some acne which I can assume is because of my age. I dont have bangs, or much of a fringe at all and I usually avoid touching my forehead. Does anyone have any tips/experiences that could help me? Thanks.
Maybe go to your gp and ask for a topical ointment. If you dont want to do that you could get a better routine going for example:
morning:
wash face with a gentle cleanser
then put on a moisturiser
evening:
wash face
then moisturiser
and if you can get an ointment from your gp put that on an hour after you put the moisturiser on
supplements you can take to improve your skin: zinc, probiotics, magnesium, calcium, vitamin b complex
tip: when your taking off your facial wash dont use a towel or face cloth as theyre too abrasive and will aggravate your acne and make it worse (learned from experience) just splash water over your face until its all off, then gently pat down with a towel to dry
I had so many closed comedones on my cheeks it looked even worse when I applied makeup....what finally helped me was I believe the banish kit I just used the roller and the serum and i noticed a slight improvement I also got the pumpkin enyme mask which i think helped as well and I would use the banisher every week and the pumpkin enyzme mask just whenever i felt like it but what I really started noticing improvements when I bought the clean and clear continuous control it has 5 percent benzoyle peroxide its s cleanser n i use it mornin n night followed by alpha essential renewal cream 10 percent glycolic aha let that dry n then 10 percent benzoly peroxide on spots where the closed comedones are....its very strong but my face seemed to handle it well and within 2 weeks all the little bumps are gone n my marks are fading...n i also use cetaphil moisturizer for blemish skin which contains spf after i cleanse in the morning
