Common Questions and Answers about Severe acne on forehead
acne
I am experience a severe acne breakout on my forehead which is now very oily. It is mainly across the forehead, on my eyebrows, in between my eyebrows and on my temples. My feet are sometimes very warm or tingly toes or both. I also noticed a mustache, and one hair growing in my chin. I’ve never had acne issues let alone oily skin. This all happened in the past 4 months and keeps getting worst. In May I took a morning after pill, and I also took another earlier January and last year October.

Over the past 2-3 years, I’ve been getting these extremely itchy pimples randomly on my forehead and, on rare occasions, other t-zone areas. The areas start out very much like a hive (red, blotchy, extremely itchy skin), but, unlike hives, end up leaving a red papule with the occasional white center that stick around for days to weeks. To provide some context, this all started after seeking treatment for mild acne (whiteheads on my forehead and extremely oily skin) about 3 years ago.
Approximately 3 months ago I was in Asia and had sex (vaginal, no oral) with a girl there. On my way home I developed an acne like rash on my forehead which I ignored for a few weeks thinking it would go away. When it didn't, I started to worry that it is herpes. I made an appointment with my doctor but got impatient waiting a week to see him and went to urgent care. The nurse practitioner there insisted that it isn't herpes, told me I have acne and gave me antibiotics.
I have tiny blisters that form a line on my forehead. It looks like a scratch but when I look close theres like 5,6 little blisters. Its not very painful I just assumed it was just a scratch then went to bed thinking itd go away but it looked worse in the morning. I got the same lesion on my chin a few weeks ago and dismissed it thinking it was razor burn but now I'm worried...could this be shingles?
return to your dermatologist for further evaluation. this isn't herpes .
For a number of years I have had tiny raised bumps on my forehead that never developed a head (unless I picked them) but were just filled with water or maybe oil. These have now spread to my back and are now driving me mad they are so itchy... One skin specialist told me it was from not cleansing properly, one GP said it was an allergic reaction and gave me antihistamines, another GP said it was Roscea and another said it was a form of Acne or Ezcema!
I started having pimples when i just turned 16 . Mostly on my forehead and occasionally on my cheeks . Used to control them with face washes and topicals. After 6 months my forehead cleared up but during that time period i had minor breakouts now and then on my cheeks but they mostly cleared up . After that i started getting a lot of pimples on my cheeks so the dermatologist put me on antibiotics for 3-4 months.
He started me with acanya and then gave epiduo a try (acne became bad on my forehead). Went back to him and he prescribed me epiduo with solodyn. After a few weeks i had tiny red spots on my face and huge pimples. I tried proactive as well and that didnt work. After that i told him the situation over the phone and he said to continue the solodyn with epiduo. i did for another month and nothing happened. He now switced me to cephalaxin and i have been on it for about three days.
Sorry grace, but that was my whole reason for asking b/c it looks nothing like the acne he has on his face at all! A nurse stated that it may be a spider bite which is possible as well. I will just take him to the doctor, but thanks for trying...
If you research you will find out that herpes will come in the form of an "acne '' like blister, and rashes as well.
Hello,
From the picture it looks like Pyoderma Faciale.This type of severe facial acne affects only females, usually between the ages of 20 to 40 years old, and is characterized by painful large nodules, pustules and sores which may leave scarring. It begins abruptly, and may occur on the skin of a woman who has never had acne before.
I sincerely suggest you to consult a dermatologist to get the diagnosis confirmed.
Hope it helps.
ve suffered from severe sweating since the onset of puberty and also had severe acne as a teenager. For acne, I was prescribe 6 months of accutane - which did wonders for my facial/body acne. However, in the last couple of years I have struggled with controlling back acne. For sweating, when I was 20 I received botox injections in my forhead and armpits - which worked well. Not amazingly, but helped for sure. I had been getting injections every 6 months.
Not only do I have deep wrinkles beneath my eyes, on my forehead, and around my mouth, but as of the last year I have developed adult onset acne as well. I don't understand, while my girlfriends are slathering themselves with baby oil and roasting in the sun, I'm the one with premature wrinkles that make most people think I'm closer to 30 than 20. I come to this forum begging for any advice someone may have about my condition.
I have had the diagnosis of seb derm for about two years now and have mild to moderate acne, mainly on the forehead region. I have had problems from impetigo to oozing sores on my forehead. Dermatologist I have been seeing ( I switched to a new dermatologist thinking there would be a difference) have given me several facial washes and ointments. This has given me more relief for the seb derm that covered all my t-zone and nose to small little manageable patches.
Mostly my cheeks though, and it extends to my neck and ears. I do have a history of mild acne which has occurred on my forehead and chin but nothing to this extent. I'm dark skinned, or more like tanned so when i get acne i do have hyperpigmentation. Would cortisone help? If not is there any medication you could suggest.
I have had for the past 2 years small red bumps on my face in top of my nose, cheeks, around the nose, forehead, etc...I get red but not as much like other people. I used Elidel for 11/2 years and it worked great now I had to stop because of fear that it causes cancer. I have been using metrogel for 8 days but at first it was great and now my pimples are starting to come out again is that part of the process???

I never had acne prior to my pregnancy except for a few bumps here and there along my forehead. But In the beggining I had it on my face and got pimples on my back. the olay clay mask worked wonders before I got pregnant and even now. I think the product name changed to olay shine control, its like 7 dollars and some change in Wal mart. Its a great product.
