This will need to be seen for a proper dx . It may represent Peri-Oral Dermatitis which requires prescription treatment.
Hi,
“Bumps” on the forehead is a very generic description that can include acne, milia, folliculitis (bacterial or fungal/yeast), etc. Fox-fordyce disease doesn’t usually affect the forehead and cheeks. Please see your board-certified dermatologist for evaluation and treatment.
Good luck.
