Fungal acne or closed comedones

My skin was always clear. Until I started getting these bumps on my forehead. When I squeez them with my nails a white things come out of it. Im not sure if itโ€™s fungal acne or closed comedones. I was using the Paulaโ€™s choice exfoliate but it didnโ€™t do anything to help. Im currently using the inkey list cleanser with salicylic acid and cosrx snail mucin serum and moisturizer in it but I see no difference. What can I do ? My skin type is normal.

Re: Fungal acne or closed comedones

Acne is super annoying and even painful at times. Itโ€™s my nemesis after having to deal with varying degrees of for over a decade. The good new is most of these look like white heads and there are much better options than there were 15 years ago. 

Trying a BHA like Paula choice toner is as great  idea! It didnt work for me either. Try a BHA/ salicylic cleanser or benzoyl peroxide one. CeraVe has some of my favorites in this category. Skinfix has a 2% BHA I havenโ€™t yet tried.

 

Glow recipe has a great watermelon BHA PHA toner. I believe they also have a BHA serum I have not tried. I also really love CeraVe 2% BHA with AHA serum.

 

I think the most important thing to ask based on the picture you uploaded of your forehead is if youโ€™re using any conditioner or hair products that are comedogenic. You may have pomade acne in which case youโ€™d just need to change how you do your hair routine.
