this can be caused by an array of issues: cellular turnover issues, hair products (like pomade, clays, leave-in conditioners), inadequate washing.

This can be solved with tretinoin and properly washing ur face twice daily.

i wouldnt settle dor anything less, depending on where u live it can just be sold over the counter, if it requiers a prescription where ur from ur family physician will give it out with relative ease, its how i got mine.

Just describe ur problems, outline that the acne is causing emotional distress along with pain and ur concerned about potential scaring.

also does microblading make me more prone to breakouts, was just wondering if you knew because that might be a cause

Try to avoid wet hair in your forehead especially if it’s sweat

Usually happens when you put ur hair on ur forhead, which is the case with most of hairstyles.
There can be other reasons too but this used to be my case
