The Subclinical acne is the
most self-acclaimed type of acne out there. It’s a type that everyone can
easily identify. When acne arises, irrespective of whether it’s on one’s
forehead, chin, cheeks or nose; there’s one thought that pricks everyone’s mind.‘If
only we had a shell-like tortoise and turtles, we would not have to worry’.
The bad news is that there’s
not just one type of acne. Rather, there are multiple different types of acne
that can affect a person. Different types of acne mean that we need different
forms of protection. Primarily, acne is divided into two different types. Inflammatory acne and Non-inflammatory acne.
Subclinical acne is characterized by small little, numerous groups of
bumps. Generally speaking, it’s hard for guys to identify cysts, nodules,
whiteheads, blackheads and so on and so forth. But subclinical acne, especially
subclinical acne on the forehead is a type of acne that’s very easily
identifiable by all. In fact, it’s so common that one can confidently say that
during one’s lifespan, it’s highly possible that you have borne subclinical
acne and have tensed up about it, without even knowing what it’s called.
Causes of Subclinical Acne on
Forehead:
In a more generic context, acne
is caused due to the clogging of the skin’s pores. This clogging may be due to
the:
§ Excess production of oil
§ The Presence of bacteria
§ Presence of dead cells
§ The Presence of ingrown hair.
Subclinical acne is just another name for multiple small bumps that get
formed on the forehead and that literally seem to crater the particular area of
the forehead in question. More often than not, this is not an overnight
phenomenon. It takes a good number of days or rather a week or so, for it
completely develop. In its early stages, it doesn’t look too troublesome. But
gradually, as they spread across one’s forehead, the psychological trauma
begins to take shape.
Subclinical acne, traditionally speaking belongs to the category of
inflammatory acne. Any type of inflammatory acne is characterized by a reddish
and swollen exterior appearance. And yet, the subclinical acne that’s seen on
the forehead is not that red or swollen in nature. But that’s the general
scenario. Do not panic or get too surprised if the acne on your forehead or the
bumps on your forehead acquires a reddish color.
Subclinical acne is a problem
that’s as old as time itself. At some point in time, it may have been a mystery
to doctors but today, that’s not the case. On a generic scale, it’s caused due
to the blockage of the skin’s pores due to excess oil accumulation on the
skin. Pinpointing the accurate cause of any kind of acne is a very ardent
task. Yet, doctors and researchers alike believe that subclinical acne on the
forehead is caused due to one of the following reasons:
§
Hormonal imbalances
Hormonal imbalances ultimately
result in the increased activity of the oil glands present in the skin. This
excess secretion of oil ends up clogging the pores of the skin, and hence,
subclinical acne on the forehead is formed. Hormonal imbalance occurs during
the aging process and for women, especially, during the time of pregnancy and
menstruation.
§
Use of poor quality cosmetic materials:
The purchase of cosmetics is
not as easy as it looks. Careful analysis has to be taken with respect to the
ingredients used in that particular cosmetic product. If the ingredients are of
poor quality, it can adversely impact the health of your skin. Subclinical acne
on the forehead is just one possible ‘health hazard’. Avoid purchasing
cosmetics that are too oily. Instead, look for those cosmetics that contain
natural acne fighting ingredients such as; peppermint, lemon, alcohol etc.
§ Stressful Lifestyle:
Fun fact: You can make out a stressful person by looking at their
forehead. Not literally, but yes. Stress leads to activation of your skin’s oil
glands. Hence, your skin gets clogged due to the excess oil. Yes, you can’t
avoid stress. It follows you around. But you can definitely control your stress
levels.Whenever stressed, take deep calm breaths. Indulge in an activity that
you deem to be relaxing in nature. By controlling your stress levels, you will
indirectly be controlling the level of oil released by your oil glands. And
hence, subclinical acne on the forehead will be like a dream of the past.
§ External Environment:
External environment refers to
your physical surroundings. The external environment can contribute to the
formation of subclinical acne as it increases one’s exposure to dust,
especially. Also, exposure to the sun can also prove to be another cause for
the rise of such acne.

one would suggest you drop that idea instantly. Save money and use it

to wash your face at least three times a day and follow up your wash with a
moisturizer. In the market today, there are multiple acne specific face washes,
using one of them to wash your face would do no harm.

impractical or hard to avoid all kinds of makeup, at least make the effort to
avoid the heavy makeup. It will pay dividends.

diet, regular physical exercise and curbing stress and anxiety levels.
