I get deep under the skin spots on my forehead. How do I get rid of them?

Under the skin, spots are usually clogged oil glands. These are also called whiteheads.
There are a few common causes for pimples and whiteheads on the forehead.

1. Hair gel (clogs your forehead skin pores and causes forehead pimples).
2. You do not shampoo enough. Oily unwashed hair that is in contact with your forehead skin will make your Acne worse.
3. You frequently wear helmets, baseball caps or headbands. These will cause friction to your skin resulting in breakouts and more forehead pimples.

Next step?

Use a very gentle cleanser and in the morning oil-free moisturizer of makeup.
If you do sports or sweat a lot on your forehead you may use stri-dex wipes to wipe up your sweat and unclog your pores in the same time.

The best treatments creams for whiteheads on the forehead will contain one of the retinoids ( For example Differin gel - that can be bought in the US without a prescription) or one of the over the counter creams that contain salicylic acid or glycolic acid.
