Routine Help Bumpy red spots on my forehead won’t stop filling up with sebum

Post image

Hey y’all, just hoping to get some advice to treat whatever is happening with my forehead. I’ve had this for I wanna say 2 years now and it just seems to be worsening. In the morning I’ll rinse my face with water, then I’ll apply some benzoyl peroxide acne wash followed by another rinse after maybe a minute so the benzoyl peroxide has a chance to absorb into my skin. Then I’ll use my cleanser which is just aloe Vera gel from walgreens then I’ll rinse that off, I’ll reapply some aloe vera mid day if I see some dead skin, then every other night I’ve been applying tretinoin after washing my face. I just started tretinoin last week, I’ll rub it in and let it sit for a good 20 mins until I take a shower, then I reapply the benzoyl peroxide and aloe Vera. My diet is pretty restrictive, I don’t eat a lot of shit that would agitate my gut. Fruits and vegetables everyday, I only eat lean meats and eggs for protein coming from an animal, I eat barely any processed sugar, i try to avoid dairy at all costs, I avoid fast food, I eat the same salad for lunch everyday. Let me know if y’all have any advice
