Suggest Treatment For A Small White Bump On The Forehead
A week ago I had a small white bump on my forehead which became red and tender. The side of my forehead scalp also became tender to the touch. A rash or red ring started getting larger and larger around the bump. It itches somewhat but hurts more. My eye is now starting to itch.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of small white bump on the forehead which occurs due to stress, hormonal changes, excessive production of sebum from sebaceous gland and many more causes. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take few medications such as tablet minocycline at day time and isotretinoin tablet at night time. Apply Clindamycin gel on face. Jojoba oil can be used only if you have dry skin. Drink plenty of water. Take diet rich in vitamin E. If pimples persists or doesn't improve in one month ,consult dermatologist once and start treatment. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory . You can also apply cream containing azelaic acid .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
