Acne on Forehead: Acne is a common skin problem that affects almost everyone at one point of time or the other. It is triggered by overproduction of sebum, an oily substance secreted by the sebaceous glands lying under the skin. This oily substance and the dead skin cells tend to clog up the pores on the skin surface which when get infected by bacteria lead to formation of acne. See your dermatologist for rx.
