Over the past few weeks, I have noticed
that my forehead seems to be kinda
'bumpy'. If I put my hand over it, I can
feel a couple minor protrusions and
indents. In addition, the big vein that
goes vertically through the middle of the
forehead is now much more visible.
Granted, I am a thin person and my veins
show easily...but even in regular everyday
situations you can slightly see the vein.
I admit it isn't THAT bad, it's not like I
look like a skeleton or anything but if I
pointed it out to you it is definitely
noticeable. It's also quite alarming to
feel bumps and protrusions when you are
running your fingers across your
forhead...
I have no idea what the cause of this. The
only explanation I can think of could be
sun damage, cause I went to the tanning
salon 4 or 5 times in the past month and a
half - but I wasn't even in there very
long and only once or twice was I even
slightly red after the tanning. I also
have been applying Benzoic Peroxide cream
4-5 times a week, which is extremely
drying. However, for the most part I have
been using adequate moisterizer. Plus, I
have oily skin anyway so I'm not sure if
that is contributing to the issue.
Is this permanent? Will applying 2% AHA
help clear up the congestion in my
forehead and stimulate skin growth? If
not, is there a surgical procedure that
can be done to add a thin layer of fat so
my forehead isn't so bony? I'd really hate
to use cosmetic surgery, but in this case
this is more of a corrective procedure
rather than enhancing a body part.

If the bumps you feel are hard, it's
probably just the layout of the bones in
your head. Your head is not perfectly
round. There are going to be bumps where
all the bones meet. And as far as the vein
goes, many things can influence how
visible it is like your level of hydration
and activity. Don't worry about it. I am
sure everything is ok.
