I am getting clogged pores and acne on my forehead, and they tend to worsen before my periods. What is the cause of this, and how can it be managed?

The symptoms you describe are most consistent with hormonal acne, which commonly worsens before periods due to cyclical changes in estrogen and progesterone. These hormonal shifts increase oil (sebum) production and lead to clogged pores, especially in oil‑prone areas like the forehead (T‑zone). This is a common, non‑dangerous condition, but it can persist if not managed properly. A safe approach includes maintaining gentle skin hygiene by washing the face twice daily with a mild cleanser, avoiding oily or comedogenic skincare or hair products, keeping hair off the forehead, and not picking or squeezing lesions to prevent scarring. Over‑the‑counter options such as salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide products may help reduce clogged pores and inflammation if tolerated. If the acne is recurrent, painful, or leaving marks, a dermatologist evaluation is recommended, as prescription topical or hormonal treatments may be needed to control it better.
Can Adapnil Gel help improve my dull skin?

Adapnil Gel (Adapalene) can help improve dull skin by accelerating the natural process of skin cell turnover, which gradually makes the skin appear smoother and brighter. It is particularly useful if dullness is caused by clogged pores or uneven texture. However, it may cause some dryness at first and make your skin more sensitive to sunlight, so it is best applied at night, along with regular use of sunscreen during the day. It is advisable to consult a dermatologist before starting to ensure it is suitable for your skin type.
I want to use Adapnil Gel for a very big red pimple. Is it suitable?

Since Adapnil Gel is a prescription medicine, it should only be used as advised by a doctor after a proper skin evaluation. For a large, inflamed pimple, it is better to see a dermatologist, who can provide the right treatment for faster and safer relief.
I have a concern about my skin coloured bumps on my face and I don’t know how to treat them, and I don’t know how to use a correct product to clear them, and I have been asking in online and searching for it, saying that adapelene 0.1% will reduce my skin coloured bumps on my face and it’s all over over my face like chin, forehead, and cheeks will this really works??

Skin colored bumps on the face need a proper diagnosis first, because they can be due to clogged pores or other skin conditions, so it is best to consult a dermatologist who can confirm the cause and decide if Adapalene or any other treatment is appropriate for your skin, instead of starting it on your own.
Can I use Aziderm 10% Gel and Adapnil Gel on the same day?
Chandrakanta Jena
Pharm D
Yes, you can use both Aziderm 10% Gel (azelaic acid) and Adapnil Gel (adapalene) on the same day, but it is best to apply them at different times to avoid skin irritation. A common approach is to use azelaic acid in the morning to help with bacteria and pigmentation, and adapalene in the evening, as it is sensitive to sunlight. Always apply a gentle moisturiser and sunscreen during the day, as these treatments can make your skin more prone to dryness and sun damage. If you develop significant irritation, reduce usage or consult your doctor.
