i have acne on my forehead and lately i have been noticing that there have been these red dots all over my face.. there are like 5 or 6 of them and they keep on coming.. they are at random spots and im pretty sure these are not acne becaues i have never had zits on my actual face other than my forehead. does anyone know what this is? and how can i get rid of it?

I got it when I was in like 4th grade. [you know the times when you take showers like every other day.. because you're not in puberty yet.] But, I finally got it all cleared up because it got soo bad. Those red dots, are probaly acne.. or like posion ivy or something.. have you been in the woods lately? Are you allergic to anything? I'd ask your mom about it, & then maybe go see a doctor. Also, if it is acne.. proactiv is theee best. All that other junk that says 'gone in 3 days' it doesn't. It takes 2 weeks for acne to fully go away. So, I'd get proactiv.. its expensive..like 50 dollars, but I gurantee its worth it. Don't get the TV stuff.. for 20 dollars, its only samples. =) But, yeah! Hope everything works out! Bye.

If it gets anymore serious, you can ask a docter when you are getting your next check up. It's nothing urgent.
If they are raised a bit, and hurt if you push on them, then its acne so follow the advice above.
