Suggest Remedy To Get Rid Of The Pimples On Forehead

Hi, so i have been using Shea Moisture African Black Soap and it had done wo ders to my face. But I never can get rid of a few pimples on my forehead. They are small and bumpy. Kind of crusty, like you can scratch the flake off but the bump is still there. In the beginning my face became dry but i use it 2 times a day morning and night but in between my face gets very oily. Especially around the t zone area. How do i get rid of the pimples? Is it my oily skin?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent pimple on forehead which is due to stress , oily skin and hormonal changes . When sebaceous gland duct gets block and entrapped dead skin and bacteria iside , they cause infection and pus formation. Yes it could be due to oily skin as well. I would suggest you to wash your face with cold water and face wash containing benzoyl peroxide twice daily , apply cream containing azelaic acid and exfoliate your skin twice a week to remove dead skin. Avoid oily and sharp food substances. Also apply vitamin E oil at night . If condition doesn't get better in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may prescribe antibiotic like Minocycline and steroid ointment .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
