What S Causing Pasty Whitehead On The Forehead And Upper Sides Of The Face?

Hello. The forehead and upper sides of my face has a pasty, whitehead (without) the bumps look to it. No matter how hard I try, I cannot wipe them away nor will any product I use seem to help. I do know that within my family, other members have that darkening of skin in patches (on the top of cheeks, around the top of forehead on the upper sides. I don t use makeup nor do I wash my face with soap. Please give me your opinion of what it could be. Thank you.
