Have Small Red Bumps Along Hairline And On Forehead. What Is The Treatment?

Hi, I have small red bumps along my hairline and on my forehead. Bumps were originally just felt under my skin but are now visible, bigger, and red. I have a small cluster of bumps right below my hairline on my forehead. Bumps usually do not form a white head like pimples. Tried using Demorex shampoo but that didn't help. Earliest appointment I got at dermatologist office in March 2014. Any ideas on what this can be? If so, what can I use to treat it? I ride horses so am always wearing a helmet, but I'm 23 and never had this issue (or any other type of face issue) until now.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
hi. seems you are having acne.
i would have like to know the products you are using on your face: moisturizers, sunscreens etc.
Any history of using hair oil. It can spread on to face and cause acne.

Stop all cosmetics like sunscreens, moisturizers or use gel base products on your face.
Apply benzoyl peroxide gel twice daily for 2 weeks.


take care
