Hi.
As per your case history of tiny pimples on forehead, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with spf more than 30.
2. Don't scratch the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
3. Apply a clindamycin gel like Glocin twice daily on it.
4. Other treatment options are oral doxycyline, minocycline and isotretinoin taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
