Traditionally, the red bindi (or sindhur) was worn only by the married Hindu women, but now it has become a part of women's fashion. Traditionally, the red dot is made up of bovine blood and dirt (earth), however, even this has changed in that many women wear a jewel (authentic gemstone or otherwise).

To get an Indian man of the bus you would have to press his red dot on his forehead. LOL!
The position of the tilaka is standard: centre of the forehead. It represents a third, inner eye. Hindu tradition holds that all people have three eyes, the two outer ones used for seeing the outside world, the third one focusing inward toward God. As such, the red dot signifies piety as well as serving as a constant reminder to keep God in the front of a believer's thoughts. Let's be clear... Indian people not apply a dot on forehead. Only Hindus who worship Hindu religion apply a dot on their forehead, not all Indian peoples. The red dot between their eyebrows known as a bindi or bindu are commonly worn by hindus and indians.It is a symbol of their religion, auspiciousness, good fortune, and marital status and usually worn after marriage. In their religion it represents the 3rd eye of the spiritual sight. It is made by a red powder called Sindur Made by powdered turmeric and fresh lime juice. There is also a black bindi and it is worn often before marriage and used to ward off the evil eye. Young girls are free to wear any color they want. So a dot worn between somebody's eyebrows has so much history, life, and information.

It is a form of Tilak which is symbol of auspeciousness and the yellow line with red dot symbolize to give respect to lord Vishnu
They can use anything from a henna tattoo, to stickers, to a type of glue to keep it on.
Women in India wear a red dot to represent a third eye which stands for knowledge, because of the goddess Shiva know as the destroyer.
Yes. but it is not a permanent dot and it is not always red.
actually to correct you. Indian women have red dots on there foreheads because that symbolizes that they are married and have a husband. now a days women in America and India were them for fashion and religious reasons. :) if you need anymore help just ask more questions and ill answer them. i know about India because my parents were born in India and i am an Asian. or Indian. ^^^Actually men do have the red dots as well so it was a correct question to ask.
If you mean the sindoor on women's foreheads, no they are not. It is a washable, red powder.
Leave it alone.
Many bigots choose to make a mockery of the Hindus religious beliefs and cultures and as a result make derogatory remarks about the decorative dot on their forehead. Asking if someone is born with the red dot on their forehead, knowing that the dot is not a part of their anatomy is as ignoramus as asking if someone is born with clothes.
visit a doctor or your local pharmacy they will give you some cream or something.
