[ltnhass]

Bro I have this acne on my forehead and I literally don’t know why bro my diet is very clean and I’ve been using benzoyl peroxide for like 4 weeks now

your haircut is suboptimal.
hop on a topical vitamin-A derivative and if that doesn't help: accutane.

Try getting prescribed accutane and start skincare


Mark as solution plis

Apply salicylic acid + niasinamid tonic every other day. Continue with benzoyl perox on outbreaks, keep your diet clean with enough water, use acne specific sunscreen on days you are out.

Do you have hair loss? Finasteride will help with hair and skin.

If not, take tretinoin/ differine / taz in the evening and azelaic acid in the morning. Moisturize.

If nothing helps, accutane.

It does for me. Also mechanistically, why wouldn't it

finasteride blocks the type II (and to a lesser extent, type III) enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to dht. it’s not as potent in the sebaceous glands because those rely more on type I 5α-reductase, which finasteride doesn’t block well. dutasteride is better in that regard as it blocks type I too.
