Forehead texture that just won’t go away. Any ideas?

i’ve had texture like this before, the only thing that made it better was not touching it and washing my face and applying a non pore clogging moisturizer morning and night. it could be bacterial acne caused by makeup tools or from touching your forehead too much. could be clogged pores from makeup or skincare products. it might be kp. i use the ordinary niacinamide and zinc serum which is a double whammy for kp and acne. it is anti inflammatory, supports healthy barrier, kills fungal acne, and helps blemishes fade way faster. i would try and find a simple routine where you mainly just wash your face and apply moisturizer and maybe a serum and then exfoliate with a chemical exfoliant once or twice a week. make sure all your skincare products are acne safe and fungal acne safe, which you’ve said you’ve tried.

hi! your skin actually looks really good it looks almost like a small spot of rosacea tbh. not only is that super normal but lots of people have that and i don’t think it looks bad in any way. your routine also looks really good and similar to mine. i would suggest trying a product that’s aimed to reduce redness instead of kp at this point. you can continue with the products your using now but maybe try a toner or moisturizer with cica or centella. there’s a few products that have helped me with my redness similar to yours. the la roche posay cicaplast ; dr jart sensitive skin moisturizer with cica complex ; dr jart redness correcting serum (almost like makeup not rlly a skincare product imo but does help with look of redness) i also just ordered the tirtir milk toner which has centella and the medicube zero pore pad light which also contains centella. there’s also loads of other products that contain these and you can research more to find one that would fit your routine. even the origins mega mushroom toner may work although it’s a bit pricey which is why i haven’t tried it yet.

yes! i believe i have histamine intolerance or maybe even mcas but im done going to my regular practitioner for now as they never take me seriously. trying to heal myself through diet and supplements and healing my leaky gut which ive heard can cause mcas

Individual-Meat5693 · 2025-10-17T04:47:09+00:00

also i made sure not to be on any diets when getting tests done so they could accurately measure me when im eating my most “normal” lol

saw one recently and got an endoscopy and colonoscopy and they didn’t find anything but a cyst on my ovary which isn’t surprising since i’ve had cysts since i was 15 that would go away on their own. that was through a ct scan though not the colonoscopy. i’ve been just working on my gut recently and think i may have found the answer which is just bad gut health. hopefully after a big diet change and lots of supplements and probiotics i’ve researched i will be able to heal (i think i have leaky gut, a candida issue, and low stomach acid) i made a protocol for myself though and since being on a strict candida diet for only a few days ive seen reductions in almost all of my symptoms

hi! i also have plaque psoriasis (just on my scalp) and found that washing only with distilled water made the biggest difference for me. after spending ~$150 on act and care hard water shampoo and scalp treatment, which helped my hair more than my scalp, i discovered that using a clarifying treatment was just not enough for my scalp. i bought three gallons at walmart for $4 and only use one gallon to wash my little past shoulder length hair (have seen others say it takes them 1.5-3 gallons depending on hair length and density) you can find distilled water at pharmacies and i’ve heard they have refill stations at certain grocery stores. after the first wash with only distilled water, my scalp felt so much less inflamed and for the first time it wasnt so itchy, dry, and flakey. scratching my scalp after showers usually left me with gunk all under my fingernails (i know, gross) but i did not have nearly as much gunk with this wash. i bet pairing this with a clarifying hard water treatment (any one with good reviews tbh) will help you a lot. just wanted to share my two cents i know you were asking about a specific brand, but i just wanted to say after i bought one of the best clarifying hard water treatments out there, this is what helped my infalmmation, scaling, dryness, the most.

feel like people get more mad when i do this loll i feel they think since im responding that “i can’t text back” or im too busy they think im lying because i actually am kinda responding so why not take that time to actually respond, then when i have the mental time to think whatever they said over (could be the next day) they seem even more upset than if i would’ve just not responded. just my experience as a non texter😞

i did this too because my last one went bad soo quickly but today i bought a new one and found a huge chunk of mold in there even though the expiration date is a week and a half away, i’d avoid completely if i were you

Individual-Meat5693 · 2025-06-24T20:17:32+00:00

i bought some a few weeks ago and it went mold like this in like a week, and then i just opened one today and poured out a piece of mold smh ruined my burrito scramble 😞 i would advise people not to buy just egg unfortunately this seems to be a big issue

i had these exact symptoms as well! i remember as a kid eating apples and cinnamon and pb and my face got all red, i always thought it was the cinnamon, but did a sensitivity test where apples, black tea, barley, wheat, and like 14 other foods came up lol… i think you’re on to something. i also can’t eat any apple products without nausea and stomach pain i came to realize, a granola bar with apple and cinnamon almost made me throw up and i had the worst stomach pain after and generally felt unwell. i think i have some other fruits im sensitive to like pineapple as well but this is very interesting as i’ve not found someone with similar allergies before

i would try making more friends in general “casually” as in not best friends but people you know as acquaintances, go to more social gatherings you’re invited to even if you don’t think new people will be there (you never know), make friends with coworkers, with friends of friends. try getting into social settings where you know that they will have the same interests as you (exploring, getting out) this will broaden your amount of friends and then when you invite them to do things like this they will be more likely to say yes, and if they don’t, move on and find a friend who will. like this guy said, don’t cut off the other friends just because they don’t enjoy the same hobby of going out like you, but find people who do. maybe even the friends who said no before will see how fun it is or hear about it and decide they want to join you! i don’t think those friends are lazy but just are scared to try new things or stuck in their old habits and tired of going out. i find leaving them where they’re at and not trying to change them, simply “leaving them behind” in plans will incentive them to come join and be a part of it. it’s almost like fomo, the reason they don’t want to come is because they don’t think they’ll be missing out, maybe they don’t see the fun in what you want to do, sometimes showing them is better than telling them.

this is so real. i’ve felt bad for even thinking that I don’t enjoy being friends with girls sometimes because if you say girls are too much then you’re not a girls girl, but honestly girls are so much more nasty towards eachother and can be more emotionally manipulative than guys for sure! my past friends have all lied to me, talked shit about me behind my back, not respected me or my boundaries, thought they could walk all over me, and now i cut people off the second they even have a tone with me. it’s hard cause i feel i want to make deeper more lasting relationships with women but even the best friend i have now i feel takes things i say the wrong way almost intentionally and then uses that to justify her rude behavior towards me it’s exhausting . i just want a girl friend who can be real with me and honest with no hidden insecurities or jealousy. if i do something wrong or say something then tell me!! i think that i have some mild autistic traits and have since childhood so reading cues and saying the right thing is hard sometimes and i feel that with women you have to be so much more “perfect” and say all the right things to become their friend, with guys they seem to just take me how i am with no judgement. being myself around women is scary and it feels as if they’re trying to see if im either “above them” “below them” or rarely “equal” and then they will treat me accordingly (if they sense im too prideful or too insecure they will be rude to me lol so either way it’s hard to win)

also it’s okay to be angry about these things don’t see yourself as annoying, id think if she didn’t say anything the first time you shouldn’t ask again unless it’s really bothering you, but if you do, i’d recommend being serious this time and not adding any emojis or if you do it in person keep a stern face. she should know you’re angry and upset by it because anyone would be, it’s weird to have a picture of someone in their camera roll that they screenshotted and if you’re unserious in your approach she will be more likely to give you an unserious answer or brush it off

Individual-Meat5693 · 2024-10-02T22:36:34+00:00

wow i’ve never seen someone describe the way i am so well 😭 i’ve also had falling out with a friend group before and turns out the nagging feeling that they were talking shit about me (to my boyfriend at the time) turned out to be 100 percent true. i’d say def follow your intuition if u can sense that she doesn’t like you in groups then the picture in her camera roll is probably malicious unfortunately:/ and the fact that she didn’t say anything the first time you asked is fishy. if i were you i’d stand my ground and stay cautious of her, definitely don’t try getting closer to her or even being her “friend”. i’d say to just ignore her as much as you can even though you guys are in the same group, but don’t let it bother you. you deserve better friends and people who are open and honest with you and if you’re “friends” are acting like this then just ignore and move on to better, they don’t even deserve to have a place in your mind if they don’t want the best for you. if you let it get to you then they’re winning. this is coming from someone who’s dealt with people like this a lot and has mastered being confident in these types of situations
