Bumps on Skin near Forehead and Cheeks

2026-04-07 06:32:15
I have sensitive skin. I don't really get pimples or acne. It only happens occasionally. From last week however I got these pimples/acne on my forehead. It wasn't this severe then, just progressed over the weekend. Now it has spread to my cheeks also. I started using Benzyl Peroxide 5% last night. Please suggest me if that'll work.

Heya... Appears to be a monomorphic type of acne. Perchance did you use a steroid based cream like Betnovate or some OTC Crema or product on your face prior to this eruption. More detailed history needs to be taken before suggesting a clear action plan. Yes Benzoyl Peroxide cream may help you in the interim. Do consider an INSTANT ONLINE Consultation using this App's portal or portals like Apollo 24/7 There are a lot of good dermatologist' who are Bangalore based including yours truly 🙏

• This looks like acute inflammatory acne (mainly comedonal + papular acne), likely triggered suddenly (could be due to stress, hormonal fluctuation, skincare/hair products, or sweating) • Forehead-dominant onset with spread suggests oil/occlusion-related flare • Benzoyl peroxide can help, but since you have sensitive skin, 5% may be a bit strong initially and can cause irritation Next Steps • Continue treatment but with a gentle, structured approach suited for sensitive skin • Avoid overuse of actives to prevent worsening irritation • If not improving in 1–2 weeks or if worsening, I would suggest a proper consultation with me on Practo so I can customise treatment for your skin type and prevent marks/scarring Helpful Tips / Words of Caution • Start slow—over-treating can worsen acne in sensitive skin • Avoid touching, picking, or scrubbing the area • Keep hair away from forehead and avoid oily hair products • Use mild skincare and maintain consistency rather than trying multiple things • Expect mild initial flare/irritation with benzoyl peroxide—stop if severe burning or redness occurs
