Fix the Dandruff First (Root of Forehead Acne) Use a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo 3x/week:

✅ Ketoconazole 2% shampoo (e.g. Scalpe+, Keraglo-AD) → Apply on scalp + hairline, leave 5 mins, then rinse

Massage gently, don’t scratch scalp

Use mild conditioner only on hair ends

Skincare Routine for Whiteheads + Dry Skin Morning:

Face wash: Cipla Saslic DS or Re’equil Oil Control (for whiteheads)

Moisturizer: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel (hydrates without clogging)

Sunscreen: Aqualogica Glow+ Dewy SPF 50 (non-comedogenic, protects from scars)

Night:

Wash with same cleanser

Alternate nights:

Use 2% Salicylic Acid serum (e.g. Minimalist, Plum) → unclogs whiteheads Apply Azelaic acid 10% or Niacinamide 5% serum at night on scars Diet Tips Avoid: Milk, cheese, fried food, excess sugar (triggers acne and oil)

Eat more:

Zinc: Pumpkin seeds, peanuts

Omega-3: Walnuts, chia seeds

Water: 2.5–3L/day

Probiotics: Curd or Yakult (helps skin + gut)

Whiteheads and forehead pimples could be caused by various factors, including hormonal changes, oily skin, or clogged pores. Dealing with dandruff might be linked, as dandruff can sometimes aggravate facial acne by spreading yeast-like fungus. For the whiteheads and pimples, maintaining a gentle skincare routine is key—use a mild, non-comedogenic cleanser twice daily, avoiding aggressive scrubbing that might inflame the skin. Consider using products containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, as these can help to unclog pores and reduce acne lesions. Always do a patch test before using new products to avoid irritation. Check your diet, as high glycemic foods or dairy might exacerbate acne in some people; try reducing these to see if it helps. The blackspots or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation left by pimples usually fade over time but can be hastened with treatments containing ingredients like niacinamide or certain types of vitamin C. On the dandruff front, consider using an anti-dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole, selenium sulfide, or zinc pyrithione, as these can help reduce dandruff effectively. Use it regularly and let it sit for about 5 minutes before rinsing. For the dry skin patches, a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer can help maintain the skin barrier without exacerbating acne. It may be beneficial to visit a dermatologist if over-the-counter treatments don’t help within a few months, as they can provide more targeted therapies. If any new or worsening symptoms occur, especially if accompanied by pain or significant redness, consult a healthcare provider promptly.
