Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have noticed the presence of tiny red pimples on my forehead, covering the entire area and extending around my nose. Despite trying various soaps, there has not been any improvement. Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

To better understand and address your concern, here are a few potential explanations:

  1. Acne: Excess oil production, bacteria, and inflammation can contribute to acne. I would suggest you consider using a gentle acne-fighting cleanser and moisturizer while avoiding harsh scrubs or exfoliants that may irritate the skin.
  2. Rosacea: If you are experiencing redness, flushing, and small bumps, rosacea could be a possibility. I suggest you consult a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and tailored treatment plan.
  3. Allergies: New skincare products or exposure to allergens like pollen or dust mites may trigger these symptoms. Try avoiding new products or potential allergens to see if there is an improvement.
  4. Bacterial infection: If the pimples are painful, swollen, or show signs of discharge, it could indicate a bacterial infection. I would suggest you consult a healthcare provider for appropriate treatment.

I hope this information helps you identify the cause and provides guidance on managing your symptoms.

If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to let me know.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Best regards.
