Hi Reddit! First time posting here, so I’d really appreciate any help.
I’ve been dealing with this stubborn texture on my forehead for a while now and I honestly can’t figure out what it is. Some days it looks better, other days it’s way more noticeable, and sometimes I also get small breakouts with it.
I’ve tried pretty much everything for several months at a time:
Tretinoin and adapalene
A fungal acne-safe routine
Barrier repair with ceramides/cholesterol/fatty acids
Azelaic acid, niacinamide, BHA, AHA, etc.
Nothing has really made it go away. The only things that seem to calm it down a bit are Avène Cleanance Comedomed and the Sungboon Editor Green Tomato ampoule, but even then, the texture is still there.
For context, I do get keratosis pilaris on my arms, so part of me wonders if this could be something similar on my forehead? Or maybe closed comedones, folliculitis, clogged pores, irritation… I’m honestly lost.
I attached photos of how it looks. It changes depending on the day/lighting/angle.
Has anyone had something like this? What would you try next, or what should I ask a dermatologist about?
Thanks so much!
