For small bumps at the forehead on fair Caucasian skin, what treatments are available and how much does treatment cost? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

Hi,

From the photo, it appears that you have mild acne with comedones (whitehead & blackheads) and a few inflamed small lesions (or papules as they are termed medically). Do refer to the Acne section for more details on the various treatment options for mild acne.

A combination of topical benzoyl peroxide and topical retinoid (tretinoin or adapalene) will probably a good first line treatment option to start with.

Do see your doctor for a closer examination, full assessment and discussion of treatment options. It is important to treat mild acne early before it gets more severe and cause scarring.

Hope this helps!
