How To Get Rid Of The Acne Bumps On My Forehead?

I have these "acne" bumps on my forehead and some on my cheeks (next to my nose) on each side. They have no heads and they never seem to go away. Fucidine helped make them smaller (on my forehead) but did nothing for the ones on my cheeks. They're only visible when I tilt my head at a certain angle under direct light. However, hey are clearly visible under sunlight. I don't know what these are so I don't know how to treat them.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that acne or pimples can occur due to causes like oily skin, hormonal imbalances, bacterial infection, inflammation, clogged pores and excess sun exposure..
As you are applying Fucidin cream that contains active ingredient Fucidic acid that has antibiotic properties..
I would suggest you to continue applying Fucidic acid containing cream and along with it you can also apply Benzoyl peroxide containing creams..
You can also apply Adapelene containing ointment or gel over the pimples in thin layers..
You should exfoliate your skin twice a week to remove dead skin as well as unclog the pores..
You can also do cool compresses over the pimples..
Avoid oily foods and take a nutritious diet which should constitute more of green leafy vegetables and fruits..
Drink plenty of water..
Avoid excessive sun exposure and always apply sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
