I believe this image to be good enough to see these somewhat weird bumps on my forehead. How do i make them go away?? and what are they called. They arent really pimples.
Edit: I am the one with the make up on and with hair. |

Aw, you just wanted to show your beautiful baby!
Actually, I do see the bumps. They look like clogged pores or skin that's getting ready to molt. 8-) You probably used something your skin didn't like recently. No biggy. |

Aww thanks 
Actually we just snapped this photo and i realized that it actually showed my forehead well enough .
I have had these for ever and ever so it can not be anything new.
It is like "under the skin" pimples. If that makes any scence at all.
I have this on my chin too, but that is probably from something new. because they come and go.
It is annoying! |

What a lovely baby!
I'm sorry I can't see any bumps on your forehead. Maybe it has been covered up because of your make-up.
So I don't know what the bumps are and couldn't give any advices to you. |

Hi Malishka - I see the little bumps and I know exactly what you are talking about. I think they are a type of milia. Check out this website www.visualdxhealth.com/adult/milia.htm
or google milia for more info. What you have is often seen in babies skin. Both you and the baby are so beautiful I hope little bumps on your forehead are the only trouble you have for the rest of your life! |

I can't see the bumps either. However, I suffer from bumps under the skin, on my forehead and down the sides of my cheeks. I actually have a condition called Sebaceous Hyperplasia - which is the horrible name given to a skin condition in which pores become blocked with sebum and form little cysts under the skin. They are extremely difficult to get rid of. I have had some of the larger ones lasered off, but I have masses of tiny little ones lying in wait.
My bumps seem to come and go, so just when I think I've cured myself, they come back. It is also very difficult not to be tempted to pick at them. I've had the most success by stopping the use of heavy creams (which seem to feed the bumps). I now only use facial oils and Retin-A (which is also really helpful). It is very important to keep your pores free of dead skin, so Retin-A is great for this. You might also like to try a series of Lactic Acid peels.
Also, take a look at this thread on Finacea Gel:

BTW, you and your daughter are beautiful! |

| Looks like you have some very mild clogged pores under the surface of the skin. Retin A would do away with those pretty fast. Or you could go for a chemical peel. |

You can order the generic verison of Retin A (from alldaychemist.com and get it without insurance. Shipping is rather high, so oder quite a few tubes at once!
I would suggest the .05% cream formulation...start out using it twice a week at night and work up slowly based on how your skin reacts.

***Don't use the Retin-A or any of it's derivatives if you are nursing that little beauty girl!***
I see the little bumps, and they are probably just a little built up sebum.. Pick up a little synthetic baby hair brush, and use that with a mild cleanser a couple of times a day.. A toothbrush will work in a pinch for that small area also.. And a microfiber cloth used regularly will prevent that altogether..
Your baby is yummy + delicious .. |

Good point! No retin A if nursing. It's not known whether the drug is excreted in human milk so not worth the risk.
Other options are a good salycilic acid wash at 2%... But honestly your skin is nice. When you finish nursing try Retin A. Unless you are trying to get pregnant again.
Neostrata has some good glycolic creams which would really help. I use one that is 8%. It helps with little imperfections like that. |

No worries ladies, i am not nursing.
I searched through EDS and already registered at all day chemist and made a fake emaila ddress and everything due to the Spam issues
My husband is leary though on approving me to use stuff from somewhere else. |

| hahaha. well she is a BABY! that is unrealistic honestly! But Retin A is probably your best bet. For you, I would use a low strenth, once every 2 days until you get used to it. Since you have nice skin already. Its also good for prevention of wrinkles. |

Many of us are using the Retin-A from Alldaychemist - be assured that there is no problem with it.
I should also have mentioned in my previous post that I find Mario Badescu's Drying Lotion (which contains salicylic acid and calamine) fantastic for eating away at bumps. |

I think we would all love that look! Honestly, your skin is gorgeous. You have a great, healthy glow. What are you using now on your skin? |

Malishka31, you already have healthy and glowing skin. And I've read Clarisonic may help improve clogged pores but I don't have personal experience.  |
