    Are you in a part of the world which is very sunny? This looks like actinic keratosis,caused by many hours exposure to sun. And you say this is on your forehead which fits.Its not cancerous but needs to be monitored very closely as there is always that risk. Ask your doctor about cauterization.

    You appear to have other dark marks - albeit smaller - across your scalp, so you are probably prone to this sort of thing. As suggested they could be actinic keratoses and you could have them treated with liquid nitrogen but there will be scars.
