#I HAVE A HEADACHE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FOREHEAD SKIN#
Sweat: Sweating is known to be great for the skin as it detoxes the body, potentially binding to and removing bacteria, but that only improves the condition of acne-prone skin when it’s rinsed away ASAP, and not left to linger on top of pores."It is important to keep in mind that hair products can sometimes worsen acne, so take protective steps if a hair care product seems to be tied to worse acne manifestations." "Pomade acne is caused by hair products, particularly thick or greasy ones," says Kraffert. Certain hair products: What kind of hair products might make their way from your tresses and onto your forehead? Anything oily or sticky.“ If you can eat a product, bacteria and fungus can eat a product as well." “Using products such as coconut oil and olive oil on your scalp and hair can cause forehead acne as edible products such as these tend to increase the growth of microorganisms on the skin,” he explains. According to Patel, food-grade products are actually problematic for acne-prone skin. Food-grade oils: Here's an interesting tidbit.The friction irritates the skin and disrupts the surface, which can clog the pores with dead skin cells and lead to inflammation. Mechanical acne (also known by its technical term, acne mechanica) are acne lesions caused by the heat and friction from an object (like bra straps or a helmet) rubbing up against the skin. “This is particularly problematic with protective headgear such as football and cycle helmets, and is one tradeoff for engaged in these sports.” "Mechanical acne can occur on the forehead from hats and helmets," Kraffert adds. "Wearing hats or bandanas or headbands, and even touching your forehead a lot can manually occlude the forehead skin and cause forehead acne." The same goes for anyone who might hit the gym a lot, or enjoy activities that involve a helmet, like riding a bike. "Think baseball caps, headbands, and hair products that leak down on the forehead skin to cause breakouts," says Patel. Sure, not much clothing is worn on the forehead, but this refers to anything that may come in contact with it, like headbands, scarves, or even hair. This extra oil, which is sent through the pores to protect and hydrate the skin, can sometimes become clogged on their way to the skin’s surface, creating a breeding ground for acne-causing bacteria. Forehead acne, like all acne symptoms, starts with excess oil produced by the sebaceous glands. “Acne on the forehead shares its pathogenesis with facial acne, namely hormones, heredity, and environment,” says Kraffert. Milia is seen when keratin becomes trapped under the surface of the skin to create little bumps that resemble whiteheads, most commonly found on women and babies. The difference between acne and milia? Acne forms when excess oil and dead skin cells clog a pore and create bacteria. Milia: Not technically acne although often mistaken for it, milia can sometimes take shape on the forehead as well."Inflammatory papules (which are red bumps) and pustules (which are red bumps with white centers) are less frequent than comedones," says Kraffert. Pustules and papules: While whiteheads are by far the most common acne symptom seen on the forehead, raised red pimples are also know to pop up in the area."Usually the type seen on the forehead is caused by occluded pores, so more whiteheads are seen there." “Acne comes in many flavors, and the type of acne you see depends on the person’s ability to produce oil," says Patel. Comedones: Read: those small spots known as blackheads and whiteheads.
