Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of round black rash on the forehead which seems to be due to inflammatory hyperpigmentation, eczema and could be heat rash.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to
- Apply cold compresses on a black rash.
- Apply petroleum jelly and protect them from sun exposure.
- Avoid itching or pricking rashes.
- Apply a cream containing Benzoyl peroxide.

If the condition does not get well then consult a dermatologist for proper examination. The doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with corticosteroid ointment and antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
