My cousin has these acne problems on her forehead and also has whiteheads on her nose. She wants to get rid off it. We went to a dermatologist. She said it was because of dandruff. Tried everything. Nothings effective.

Hi lybrate-user, I highly doubt if whiteheads could be due to dandruff. I would recomend you to initially start using a salisilic based facewash called saslic ds facewash. Depending on severity of acne the medications will vary. So I would recomend a detail history, and rulling out any hormonal imbalances. Also knowing what medications are you currently on, and since how long have you been suffering from the same?
