Suggest Treatment For Persistent Redness On The Forehead

Hello. About 5 months ago I started to get a very bumpy forehead. I had occasional acne but never anything like this. It got to be hard on me so I tried everything to get rid of it. After this long the bumps have gone down considerably. I have been using the exposed skin care regimen for a month now. Lately, my main problem is redness on my forehead. The middle of my forehead is constantly very red and the skin has a rough looking texture. The outsides of my forehead have perfectly normal skin. I am wondering what the problem could be and how to get rid of this redness in the middle of my forehead. Thanks.

Hello,

The symptoms can be related to many medical conditions. The most common medical condition related to your symptoms eczema. It tends to occur in people who have an allergic disposition. I suggest to use anti histamines such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily. I also suggest to use Betametasone cream for local application. If the symptoms continue, you should see a dermatologist for further evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
