Tiny bumps on the forehead are often closed comedones. Removing them with a tool can cause inflammation, redness, or secondary infection. Avoid touching or squeezing further. Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer. You may apply a little aloe vera gel for soothing. If pain, pus, or increasing redness occurs, proper examination is important. You may visit our clinic for safe acne and skin care management.

These look like inflamed comedones
You must get them removed by a dermatologist in aseptic environment with sterile instruments
Else they might further get infected
Meanwhile appropriate topicals can be prescribed after assessment
