How to get rid of severe breakouts on the forehead?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen your query and understood your concern.

Your problem seems to be acne vulgaris. Acne vulgaris is a common skin concern in adolescents and may sometimes persist in adulthood too. It is a skin disorder involving pilosebaceous follicles or oil glands and is therefore seen to involve areas where oil glands are dense. The face, chest, back, and upper arms are the common sites of involvement.

In females, it may also be associated with menstrual irregularities or PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). So, I suggest you follow the instructions mentioned below.

1. Avoid eating oily and spicy food, junk food, milk products, and non-vegetarian food.

2. Drink lots of water which hydrates your skin and avoid applying hair oil, because it can aggravate your forehead acne.

3. Use topical antibiotic cream like 1 percent Clindamycin gel over the pimples in the daytime and topical retinoids like 0.1 percent Adapalene gel during the night daily for a few months after consulting a specialist doctor. These topical retinoid gels can slightly irritate your skin. So, it should be used in low quantity. If irritation persists then immediately stop using it.

4. Use a mild cleanser for cleansing the face twice daily.

Hope it helps.

Thank you.
