What about this type of acne?

http://www.acne.org/types-of-acne.html





I have the very first type of acne mentioned in the above article. They're called whiteheads and they're all over my forehead.





I didn't know what they were called until now.





What can I do for them? How can I pop these tiny things?What about this type of acne?
Do NOT pop them! It could lead to scarring, which is the last thing you want.





You should use a cleanser with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, or even tea tree oil, and try not to use any harsh scrubs on your forehead, or you might accidentally pop the pimples and they could scar.





Also, use a toner and an oil-free moisturizer. Refrain from touching your face, and use oil free makeup that is also labelled non-comedogenic.





It would also be beneficial to use an acne treatment gel before bed, containing salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or sulfur. This may sound strange, but also using pure tea tree oil can work on your forehead, since it has antibacterial properties.





Hope this helps!What about this type of acne?
You shouldn't be poping your white heads!You will get scars and acne! There is Proactiv and others to help you!
What you need to treat:





1.) A good soap that doesn't dry out your skin. I really recommend either cetaphil (that you can buy at the store) or a natural soap you can buy on ebay from clearandsmooth (seller). The second one works best for me, I thought cetaphil was still a little drying.





2.) Surprisingly, drinking about 6-8 glasses a day of antioxidant rich tea (iced or hot). This helps your skin from the inside. I really suggest a tea by The Republic of Tea called ';Get Gorgeous'; that has Rooibus as a main ingredient. It's specifically meant to improve your skin, and since I started drinking it I very rarely break out. I drink 6 glasses a day, iced and no sugar. For some reason, drinking it through a straw is a lot easier.





Aside from a mask I use once a week (Chocoable) and a good moisturizer from the same seller I got the soap from on ebay, that's all I use. I use to have bad acne, but now I'm clear. The acne treatments like proactive or murad were too harsh for me. Natural was far better, though I may still use a spot treatment now and then. Usually something with sulfer.





Don't pop them, it'll spread the acne. If your skin is dry or red, reduce your time in the shower and use lukewarm water. This method worked for me, but everyone's different. Hope some of it helped.





ps- If you wear make-up, mineral wear is best for your skin.
dont touch them! the worst thing you could do it to keep playing with them with your fingers. make sure if you can that your hair is off of your forehead. this keeps any oil from you hair off of your face. if you need to pop them, make sure you get a hot washcloth and put it over the whitehead. when the washcloth begins to cool, gently squeeze the white head with another washcloth or some other kind of cloth. ofter it is popped, gently wash your face to remove nay extra bacteria.





hope i helped =]
Do you have bangs? If you do, this is the likely culprit. Since they are only on your forehead, oils from your bangs deposit on your forehead, and from your fingers if you constantly push your bangs aside.





Popping them is a no-no, since this will just cause the bacteria to spread and more pimples. The best thing to do is to use a gentle cleanser (try Cerave, or Clinique Mild facial wash) twice a day. Follow with an exfoliating toner like Neutrogena Pore Reducing Toner or Clinique Clarifying Lotion #2. If you must moisturize, use a very light, oil free one (try Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel, or Biore Oil Control Moisturizer). Once a week, use a gentle exfoliating scrub to remove dead skin that clogs pores.





Try to keep you hair off your face using clips, hairspray, etc. Make a concious effort to NOT touch your face or forehead especially. I used to have the same prob and doing the above helped a lot. The good news is the type of acne we have is fairly easy to deal with (as opposed to deep cystic pimples). If you find you still get a few here and there, use a spot treatment with salicylic acid like Clean and Clear Persa Gel.





Hope this helps!
