What Do Brown Spots On Forehead Indicate?

Hello. So recently these very small little red/brown dots showed up on my forehead, and they are flat. I know they are not pimples. The odd thing is that they are in a perfect rectangle, and some are faded. No matter what I do they don t go away. I washed my forehead and everything. What do I do, and what is it?

Hi,

Excessive exposure to sunlight or constant friction due to wiping of sweat causes brown spots. People who have diabetes also develop dark patches.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dona Raj, Dentist
