Pimples on Forehead: Causes, Treatment and Prevention

A common and generally not alarming condition, pimples on the forehead can appear both during puberty and in adulthood. This is not surprising: in fact, the forehead, in addition to being particularly exposed, is part of the T-zone, together with the nose and chin. This is an area of the face where the skin is usually oilier and, therefore, more prone to showing the typical signs of acne .

Pimples on the forehead are usually swollen, painful and particularly red due to the inflammation that accompanies them. Their size, as well as the quantity, can vary depending on the cause that triggers them, the type of skin or other factors that we will explore in the course of the article.

Additionally, they can:

• Be soft and round (papules)
• Also have a white tip (pustules)
• Develop under the skin (nodules or cysts )
• Having the appearance of blackheads (comedones)

In addition to a balanced diet and proper hydration , cleansing is essential both as a form of treatment and prevention. For this reason, it is useful to have a daily routine to repeat in the morning and evening, which takes adequate care of the skin. In fact, there are cosmetics formulated specifically for those who are subject to this type of impurity, which can help both in the prevention phase and during treatment. Furthermore, it is good to choose products based on your skin type: if we use a cream with a rich or excessively aggressive texture on oily skin, we may notice an increase in impurities.

The products in the Eucerin DermoPurifyer range are specially formulated to act against the main causes of impure and acne-prone skin, thanks to the active ingredients in their formulas:

• We begin the routine with Eucerin DermoPurifyer Oil Control Cleansing Gel , it gently cleanses the skin effectively removing dirt, make-up and excess sebum, furthermore thanks to its antibacterial properties it contains bacterial proliferation. It is important to cleanse both in the morning and in the evening. In fact, cleansing accompanied by a delicate massage, cleanses the skin deeply preparing it to better absorb the active ingredients contained in the creams that are applied immediately afterwards;
• After cleansing, it is important to apply specific products for acne-prone skin such as DermoPurifyer Triple Action Serum , a specific treatment formulated to reduce imperfections and prevent their reappearance;
• During the day, we finish our skincare with Eucerin Protective Fluid SPF 30 which, in addition to soothing irritation and preventing imperfections, gives a long-lasting mattifying effect and protects from the sun’s rays;
