Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concerns. The cause for acne on your forehead can be due to dry skin and dandruff mainly.
I would suggest you to try home remedies like:
- Switch to herbal anti dandruff shampoos. They will help you get rid of dandruff better than the normal shampoos.
- - Use medicated shampoos like Nizarol (ketoconazole) shampoo one or two times a week for one month.
- Wash your face with a gentle Non-foaming cleanser once or twice a day.
- Moisturize your skin daily to keep it from drying.
- Dab a little cream with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid directly onto active breakouts to dry pimples and help them heal faster.
- Keep the hair off your face.
- A hot oil (coconut) massage once a week can help reduce the problem of pimples caused by dry scalp dandruff. It keeps the scalp healthy and improves the blood circulation to the scalp.
If acne still persists or worsen it is best to meet a dermatologist for detailed evaluation and treatment.
I hope this answered your query.
With regards,
