Acne and boils on the forehead are usually caused by excess oil, blocked pores, sweat, or bacterial growth, and sometimes stress or hormonal changes can make it worse. Vitamin supplements like B12 or vitamin D may trigger breakouts in some people, but this is not very common and varies from person to person. Keep your skin clean, avoid oily products, and do not touch or squeeze the area, as it can worsen it. If the problem started after taking supplements or continues to worsen, consult your doctor so the exact cause can be identified and managed.
