Red And Painful Bumps On Forehead. Leaving Black Spots. What Is It?
I have been getting red bumps that hurt on my forehead that start to bring forth smaller bumps that look like mucus is in them and it stay there for two to three weeks and then leaving a black spot on my forehead. This has happened four times now. I first noticed it in the summer then it disappeared and now it came back.What is it and how can I prevent it and get rid of the dark spots?
