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.
