Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have not changed my cosmetic products. I started to have spots on my forehead for a couple of weeks. I am doing showering regularly and I am afraid to use new products as it makes my skin worse. They cause some itching on my forehead and it seems to be spreading too. I never had these issues before but they occurred suddenly. They are getting worse now. My skin is sensitive. They tend to show breakouts around the shaving area. It seems to be strange to have it on my forehead and I am unable to manage it. I am using facewash while having a shower twice a day. Please suggest. I am attaching the pictures. What is the cause? How to treat it?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through the photo (attachment removed to protect patient identity). You have acne vulgaris grade 2. It seems to have worsened a little. But it can be managed by taking proper medications. You should not prick your pimples as they can get infected and leave spots over there. You can use Suncros aquagel (Oxybenzone with Avobenzone). It is a sunscreen and you can use it in the morning daily. You can also use Fash facewash (Sodium Laureth sulfate with Xanthum gum) twice daily. Apply Benzac AC 5% gel (Benzoyl peroxide) over the pimples for two hours and use it daily in the evening. You can avoid eating sweets, junk foods, and oily foods. You will have a slow response and it can take up to four weeks. If you are not satisfied, you can start using Retinoids.
