Hey guys, I am not sure what this is.... it seems to be a hyperpigmentation/scab on my forehead. This is troublesome because this is right on my forehead and I've been using some sort of make up to cover it for the past few months. Are there any over the counter stuff that can help my clear this up?
One thing is, I've picked at this for some time because when it heals, there is a layer or some skin that grows over it and it just looks weird, so I usually just... clear off the excess skin/growth skin that grows over it, and this actually makes it less noticeable. Sounds odd but yah... but every time it grows back the picking off the excess skin makes it look better and less red.
I have a dermatologist meeting next monthish or so.. I wonder if he could help me. This has been here for a few months already, since summer.
really? nobody can help tell me what this is? from far away it isn't that bad, but close up it looks like some sort of bug bite or something.
I think it started as a small scab then I picked at it and got bigger. problem is, it doesn't seem like it wants to heal correctly.
I think I got it during a stressful time...
I am unsure if this is an acne still or not but I tried to squeezed it to make it more flatter cuz it is a small bump (blood still comes out, unsure if it is acne blood or not). Then I put polysporin for it to heal, and then morning I put make up to cover it.
What I noticed that makes it look better is using a razor to shave the excess skin off, it works. It looks less noticeable and cleaner now.
After a few days, there seems to be big improvement. Well I squeezed it quite a bit so the bump became smaller. Seems less noticeable now. The red part in the pic is healing skin, but there are still a small small bump (unsure if this is acne or not). It is zoomed in..
Maybe I should do another squeeze and hopefully it will get smaller and smaller?
I use polysporin on it and it seems to be healing a lot faster than normal. Polysporin works great.
good news, this thing is pretty much gone. no clue what it is... but squeezed the crap out of it and now it's flat. you can barely see it up close now. finally.....
