What else should I be doing and when should I consult my physician
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have painful and swollen pimple on forehead which could be due to hormonal imbalance, allergic reaction, stress and clogged pores of sebaceous glands. I would suggest you to wash your forehead with Clindamycin gel. Apply cream on face rich in comic acid and benzoyl peroxide. You should wash your face 3-4 times a day and apply alicyclic acid gel. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined. Start treatment after proper prescription and Chat Doctor. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
