I have had moderate acne for several years now. I am 29. It's mostly been under control but this past month my forehead has been itching and these tiny red bumps are all over my forehead. If i itch, they usually turn into a tiny pimple and will be able to pop the next day. If I leave them alone they just stay a small clearish colored bump. There are some in between my nose/cheek area too. theres pretty much an overall thin layer of tiny clear, raised pumps even near my eye area. so if you feel my skin it feels a slightly cratery texture.
should i be moisturizing?my skin also has a pretty oily appearance especially on my forehead.
i dont have insurance tahts why i am asking you acne "experts" or if anyone has similar symptoms...thanks.
If its itchy it could be some form of folliculitis.
Don't pop them. These are some things you can try.
Hibiclens if its bacterial or anything anti fungal if its fungal folliculitis. Lots of people like to use dandruff shampoos because they are both antibacterial and anti fungal.
thanks. how often should i use the dandriff shampoo?
Use it in place of your face wash. So, two to maybe three times a day. I would start of with using it twice a day but, if you work out or get sweaty mid day I'm sure you'll be fine washing three times a day.
I'm able to wash my face three times a day without messing up my skin. As long as you use a good moisturizer after you should be absolutely fine.
