Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy red bumps on the forehead and face which seems to be due to excessive sun exposure and blockage of skin pores with sebum and dead bacteria. Need not to worry. You should use face wash containing salicylic acid and apply kojic acid cream twice a day after washing face . Use sunscreen with SPF 15 while in exposure to sun to prevent skin from excessive sun damage. Exfoliate facial skin once a week to remove dead skin. Apply aloe vera gel at night .Drink plenty of fluids and water to hydrate yourself. Give cold compresses for itchiness. If condition persist even after month then consult dermatologist . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , antiviral , steroid drugs or isotretinoin.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
