Hello everyone, i am 15 years old and i have these very small bumps on my forehead that cannot go away, and i have tried anything. According to what i have read it may be comedonal acne/clogged pores but i´m not sure. There are hundreds of them: they are colorless, and you can only see them when close or when light catches them.

It makes me feel extremely anxious and the few times that I could get rid of them, my anxiety levels went down.

I used to use face scrubs, but that didn´t seem to help. I tried to stop using alcohol based products, and that seemed to help a lot the first week but eventually they went back to normal. Now I only use a natural cleanser by lush in the evening (which i wont be able to find in my country when i run out of it because lush doesn´t exist here, online purchasing is prohibited as well) that dind´t help a lot diminishing the spots, but it cleanses my skin very well and decreases the oiliness of my face and exfoliates a little. I exfoliate once a week with a mixture of brown sugar, honey and lemon. I do not tend to wear makeup. Sometimes i put some toothpaste to them and leave it there until it dries so then i can peel it off, and as the result of that the bumps diminish, but a few hours later they go back to normal.

I´ve read that some people say that tanning has made their skin smooth again, but i haaaaate tanning. If there´s a lot of sun, i tend to use sunscreen.

My diet doesn´t seem to be the problem, as i drink 2-4 liters of water a day and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, i´m a vegetarian and don´t eat fast food or an excessive amount of sugar. Dairy may be the problem? maybe gluten? i don´t know.

I want to clarify that i don´t know exactly what they are, but they assimilate to the pictures i have found of comedonal acne, clogged pores and forehead bumps.

Thanks to everyone who takes their time to reply!
