hi, i am 15 and i have a really weird forehead texture which looks rough and there are tiny bumps. specifically, this only shows up in photos and looks far worse outdoors. for awhile i thought it wasfolliculitis and tried nizoral but that didn't work out too well. i've tried paula's choice bha as well however even after the purging period i would get random cysts on areas i'm not acne prone to. exfoliating somehow makes my skin have an even worse texture (palmer's brand) so i stopped doing that and replaced it with a chemical peel. i was wondering if maybe acv could help? thanks!!

skin type: combo, oily tzone dry cheeks

current skincare routine
am- spectro cleanser
jelly lotion

pm- ponds cold cream
spectro cleanser
jelly lotion
the ordinary mandelic acid (every 2-3 days)
thayers witch hazel rose scented
aloe vera

pictures below are outdoor lighting photos and indoors my skin looks much better x

No photos. Most likely closed comedones from one of the products you are using. Or you let shampoo run down your face it has alot of ingredients that are highly comedogenic. Or a mixture of both. Please look at acne.org comedogenic list and go through the ingrdients from your product to see if they bave any of the worst ones in.
