Okay, I have NEVER had any acne at all....maybe one pimple every other month sometimes...but now I have 9 pimples right above the middle of my eyebrows on my forehead. This is also the first time I have had bangs and they strangely end where the pimples are. Could this problem be related to the bangs? Or am I just crazy. Anyway, I think it is destroying my appearance and I am really sad about it. Also, should I invest in Proactiv if I only have pimples right in the one spot but the rest of my skin is always clear?
Here is a picture of the pimples...

Proactiv is expensive and I never had it work. I use organic face MILK by a brand called Alba. It's the consistency of runny lotion and doesn't dry out my face (many many many many washes do that, only making it worse) and I follow up with Dove moisturizer with SPF 15 in it. Your bangs and the hair product you're using are the culprit.

I get the same thing right between my eyebrows. Go to the store and buy "Neutrogena On the Spot" it's an acne cream. Do what it tells you to do on the back. I put it on before bed and the pimples got alot smaller overnight! As for the bangs, they may be part of why you are getting pimples because the oils in your hair may be clogging pores. Also, every night after you wash your face, warm up a LITTLE honey(make a little puddle about the size of a dime) on a plastic spoon for 10 seconds in the microwave. Put the honey on your pimples for 10 minutes and then rinse off with warm water. After just a few days the pimples should be alot better. GOOD LUCK :]

The oils in your hair can actually irritate your skin, causing you to break out. I wouldn't recommend spending a bunch of money on Proactiv. I mean it works great, but I think it's overkill for such a small case. Just go to the store and find an anti-acne lotion with either benzoyl peroxide (the proactiv ingredient) or salicylic acid, and use that twice a day on the breakout area. If it doesn't clear up in a few weeks, you just might consider growing your bangs out.

Yes...your hair could most definately be the cause of your outbreak...try keeping your hair off of your face for a couple of days..see what happens....
I know this is going to sound totally weird, but for mild acne, using eye drops on your skin..(yes, I said eye drops, Like Visine) will make those pimples go away...simply put some on your finger and dab the affected area...a couple of times a day....(don't use the bottle again for your eyes, you may contaminate it...buy a bottle to use just on your skin...I do)...I know it sounds very strange, but I have been doing this for years, and everyone I have told about it, has used it, and it works. Even on pimples that have come to a head...it works. I don't know why this works....but it does (someone told me about it years ago...)...I would try it before you spend a lot of money on an acne product or cut your hair.....

Proactive would work but I don't think the blemishes are being caused by your hair. They may be from whatever product you are using on your hair, i.e. hairspray, mousse, gel etc. These things can dry out your hair and skin. If you are trying to grow your banks out and don't know how to style your hair, just try brushing them to one side or the other and don't let them rest on your forehead.

i stumbled on that Neutrogena or Ambi worked extra advantageous on mii pores and skin. Its completely extra inexpensive than Proactiv yet who reported that the 3xpensiv3 manufacturers artwork the main suitable. Proactiv didnt make various of a distinction to my pores and skin. It actually made it worst. i assume the factors have been a touch to harsh for mii youthful pores and skin. Make sur3 you wash your lower back good with cleansing soap and water and attempt to no longer positioned to plenty lotion and stuff on your lower back. by way of the way: Im 14 too and wouldnt choose that stuff on mii bac, particularly while Summ3R Hiits.

Acne sucks! I've been using a treatment for a year now and so far it's the only one that's worked good for me. I'm almost free from acne now! I highly recommend it.

The oils from your hair are causing you the acne. Just cut the bangs and you will be fine. Until then, use somce Cethaphil lotion on it.

I suspect its an allergic reaction to something in your haircare products or even a food you eat

Proactive could work.
