Greetings
It's very common problem to have pimples and black heads on forehead area. Reasons can be stress, hormonal change, dandruff.
Kindly take care of following points:
1. Sunprotection: cover face while going out in sun.
2. Avoid using cosmetics or oily moisturisers on face
3. Hydration: drink 2-3 litres water daily.
Meanwhile, try to meet dermatologist in person so that she can suggest you complete solution to your problem depending upon your skin type.
There s no recquirement of heavy medication for this concern . You can opt for anti acne therapy session and blackhead removal session for good results

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
I do not understand what you mean by heavy medication process.
Because we treat only by medications.
Wash your face thrice a day with a mild soap or a facewash.
Or if you want a medicated soap, you can use perobar 2.5 % soap.
Consult a dermatologist in person for further evaluation and management.
Best regards.

Skin care needs to be customized based on the presenting complaints. There are different ways to achieve a flawless skin after acne and it needs medical interventions and commitment on part of the patient. Acne treatment has multiple stages - to control new breakouts, to clear the sequelae (pigmentation and scars) and to prevent a relapse. An attempt to find out the root cause of acne should be made in every patient or else it keeps recurring
Next Steps
You can start on a OTC benzoyl peroxide face wash till you meet a Dermatologist.
