Okay, i have a huge acne breakout on my forehead. They’re everywhere! Like millions of them sitting on top of my forehead. I was wondering what reasons could have caused this? I know a few like, new face products, dirt of hair (might be the reason for mine, because I have bangs.) etc.
But what else?

sweat, time of month
oily skin and and hormones if your boddy is changing you could break out like when its that time of the month or if your pregnant it could happen anything is a possible reason for an acne break out
from your pic looks like your hairs touching your forehead. hair is greasy and causes acne
Some people react badly to different food types (lactose in milk, cheese etc) other ppl react badly to sugar. But generally, it sounds like perhaps you haven’t cleansed thoroughly enough, perhaps after exercising or something?? If you’ve broken out in heaps of pimples, like that is a possibel reason – just cleanse really well, use a toner and a light moisturiser!
stress? I have this really really good stuff, perscription called TRIAZ and it really works. Don’t use ProActive it drys out everyone’s skin.
sweat.
dirty pillowcase.
dramatic change in weather.
new makeup.
or bad makeup. [[ clogs pores ]]
for some people : greasy food & chocolate…stress is a big one… [[ preiods! :/ ]]
try not to touch your face after you wash it in the morning. your fingers have alot of germs and oils and salt and things like that can clog pores…
also get a good facewash. i use johnson & johnson acne controll in the orange liquid and in the purple container with the moisturizer.
works okay for me, unless you can afford proactiv. that would be the best bet. if you do get proactiv use it daily, and be consistent. it may not clear up right away but it will eventually, so dont give up on it if you dont get instant gratification. 
ps. dont pick at them. they heal up faster if you let the body fight the baceria naturally and it will leave you with less acne scarring.
your poor diet
hormonal changes
using the same pillow cover for so many days
not following the right face cleaning procedure
your body reacts to all sorts of different stimulation, your hormones can cause your skin to produce more oil, and sweat. your emotions, stress etc can also cause this. your body can react to weather conditions. your environment can also have effects, if you are doing something that tends to clog your pores such as working in dust and dirt.
I too had really bad acne problems until I came across this site which really helped … http://www.acnefreeplan.com . I tried using creams, taking pills and nothing worked. But then after reading this information, I realized that I needed to understand the problem and what causes it. With that information, I was able to treat my acne problem from the inside out. This changed my life as I’m acne free now. Best of luck.
dirt is a myth, it does not cuase acne.
But hair has oil that can cause to rub against your forehead and clog your pores.
There can be a varieties sources, well known ones are:
cigarettes, cigars, alcohol, fish (not for all cases, some benefit from it), spicy food, deep fried food.
But this varies, for one deep fried food doesn’t effect me.
One major problem may be dead skin cells clogging your pores. To see if this is the case i suggest using mask cleanser 2-3x a week.
Makeup can also lead to acne, any any product that is oil based. If your are using lotion of any kind on your face check its oil contents.
Sunlight has been known to effect acne by causing heat -> more oil. If you live in the farms where sunlight isn’t as bad as the city effect can be controversial.
Overwashing can lead to acne. Because if you wash your face too frequently oil glands will go crazy to recover the lost oil. (only 2x a day)
I also noticed cigarette smokes, or bad air in general doesn’t work so well with my skin.
Avoid fast food and those country based restaurent (eg. Pho shop) as they add in those extra ingrediant for better taste. Not always though. but some you will see a negative reaction. Pay close attention to what you eat and try to see if acne got worse cause of it.
Hormone imbalance will probably be cases more most people (if your are in your teens). Talk to your doctor about treatment, b/c belive me once your done with this acne scars are gonna haunt you for a year or two.
i use clean and clear deep action cream cleanser then panoxyl which has benzoyl perxoide (which is good) befroe bed and when i wake up i use the clean and clear again.
excercise, healthy diet, not too much sugar and enough sleep with a clean pillowcase.
hope ive helped and good luck
