Hi I m an 18 year old female turning 19 in January. I have never had bad acne problems in my life and now almost my entire forehead is covered and I feel like it s been giving me headaches. I have a throbbing migraine right now. Can acne cause headaches? I don t know how to get rid of it. Everything I used to use has no affect anymore

Hello, as you are having acne problem along with headache(migraine), your headache don't have any relation with acne.these both are separate problems. For acne you must wash your face every night with lukewarm water and don't apply any thing on your face , keep it dry, and take honey in warm water daily in the morning and in day time you may use some skin protective cream,but with very thin application and than wash with lukewarm water in the evening and night.Hope you will be relieved by your acne definitely. For your Headache (Migraine), you can use medicine stemetil 5mg twice or thrice daily and you will be symptom free of your headache hope so. All the best and take care, with good luck .
