So I have these flesh colored bumps all over my forehead. I have been applying nizoral for 2 weeks with no effect, so I figured it can™t be follulitiois. I did further research and saw that people had a problem with St. Ives apocrot scrub. I have been using that for the past month everyday, 2x a day. As soon as a stopped, these bumps appeared all over my forehead. My forehead is rough like sandpaper (I™m sure the nizoral hasn™t helped). They are extremely noticeable in sun light. I also noticed small holes on my forehead also. Any help as to how to get rid of the bumps and heal this?

DO NOT use a scrub that often,it will not do any good, its only going to harm your skin, be as gentle as you can right now. you can use something like calamine lotion to sooth your skin.

Will the bumps go away with that?

I never had these bumps before. In fact, last time I had acne I was like 15. Im 20 now. I started working out and producing 4-6 sits and paniced. I started using different srubs and stuff to keep my face clean. Thats when I used the St. Ives Scrub. I ask used benzoyl peroxide every night on my forehead (10%). I would carelessly put it on and go to sleep. It cleared up the acne but now
I have this. I would rather have the zitsnow

With all the scrubbing and BP, your skin is having a fit, eg. allergic reaction. For the next 2 weeks, apply nothing but water to your face, and even water only sparingly. Your skin needs to heal.

I havent put anything on my face for about 2 weeks except nizoral. The bumps havent gone away at all. You think they might just heal on there own and go down?

Nizorol is anti-dandruff and anti-fungal. If you had folliculitis, it would have cleared up by now. So stop using nizorol and all other products. Only apply water and pat dry. Tell us how you are doing in one week.

It™s also only in the middle of my forehead. Not on my temples or anything. Not even in the middle of the forehead where my nose it. It™s only above/ in my eyebrows and the middle of my forehead. Even my hairline doesn™t have bumps. I think it™s in all the places I scrubbed and applied have BP 10% too.

If you feel your face, you'll notice that the cheek has the most skin and the forehead has the least. So it makes sense that the forehead would show the biggest sign of allergic reaction.
