acne or what?

[helenwatermelon]

My 16yr-old DD has perfect skin EXCEPT under her heavy fringe where her poor forehead is covered with eruptions. Anyone got any ideas?

I would suggest clipping back fringe but guess she wants it to hide the spots... vicious circle really. Maybe clip it at home and at night.

Does she have greasy hair or use a heavy conditioner? If the latter she should try leaving off the conditioner.

Benzoyl peroxide cream might help(prescription only).

Yes she loves her fringe and it's a proper vicious circle. Yes the hair is greasy and she gets through so much conditioner that I can barely keep up, so I will suggest stopping that, thanks very much, and I'll try to get some cream, do you know what its action is? Drying out perhaps?

Hi minipie, just want to thank you a million, in the 10 days since you posted your reply my daughter has stopped using conditioner on her fringe and her forehead is completely cleared up. She is ecstatic, I wish I could thank you more!!!! x x x

helen glad DD skin has improved.
Just waqnted to add for information you can get benzoyl peroxide from the chemist you don't need a prescription.
