Re: okay i really need help

I would defintely recommend going to see a dermatologist. You never know what it could be and it could be your hormones. If its just on your forehead..just think about how much worse it could be. I know its hard but at least if its only in one area that is an okay thing. I would go see a derm because they can help you clear your problem that you have but one thing to note it won't change overnight. It can take a few weeks or months. I hope this helps!

I've read that forehead acne is related to liver congestion. Do something about liver cleansing to get rid of the fats in the liver. Things like Lecithin, Malic Acid, carrot juice, blueberries, Taurine, Arginine, or Nutritional yeast flakes would help.

Re: okay i really need help

I'm 16 and had that almost exact same problem. I went to see a derm who prescribed me Clindamycin but that was only slightly helpful, I went back and he gave me what I think is called Micro-Retin A (just a lower dose of Retin-A) And told me to put that on and then dab on the Clindamycin. I ended up using way to much and I got a chemical burn all over my forehead, which was horrible. I don't recommend you do that but if you use those two products it could be really helpful if you don't have very sensitive skin. (Btw I'm totally acne free after my burn healed, thank god for Vitamin E) I also found the AcneFree system really good. I hope I could help somewhat
