Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy bump on the forehead which seems to be due to increased sensitivity of your skin of getting pigmented, this sometimes occur due to excessive sun exposure or hormonal changes. It could be due to excessive production of melanocytes. It could be due to allergic reaction. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to start with application of cream containing kojic acid. Apply clindamycin gel at night time on face. You should take diet rich in fluids and multivitamins. I would suggest you to visit dermatologist once and get it examined. You should apply sunscreen TANCARE rich in spf 26. Avoid exposure to sunlight. Drink plenty of water.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
