Have Persistent Rashes On Forehead, Acne, White Spots, Pityrosporum Folliculitis, Blackheads. What Is The Treatment?

Hi , I have been having a persistent rash for about four weeks now on my forehead. I notice that in the morning when I wake up in the morning, if it seems less and when the day progresses and especially when i get out to the sun, it looks completely exaggerated. I also have been battling with vaginal tease infection for close to 2 years now. I have have had acne as a teenager and it completely cleared when i was about 18 years. So I am completely sure that what i have is not normal acne. From the research i have done for the past few days, I believe what i have is Pityrosporum Folliculitis. The rash i have is characterized by some white spots once in a while, and when they die out, they become black heads(I am of African Origin) Please advise on how to treat it because I am afraid it is now spreading to my temples, and before long i may have my entire face covered with it.
