Hi! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile but... I went to the dermatologist!!
He told me I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin- so much so that I shouldn't be using salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. He also said that I don't have rosacea at all, but the KP on my arms has to do with the redness on my face. He also said I had seborrheic dermatitis, which can happen with acne, so he prescribed me with clindamycin phosphate lotion (for the acne) and ketaconzole cream (for the seborrheic dermatitis).
I'm still breaking out a bit but its nothing concealer can't cover
I have a big zit right above my eyebrow though 
My skin care routine has completely changed... so now I'm using:
-Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser (Day & Night)
-Clindamycin phosphate (Day & Night)
-Ketaconazole (around my nose in the morning)
-Serious Skin Care 10% sulfur treatment (he said I'm allowed to use it )
-Cetaphil Daily Advance Lotion for Dry Sensitive Skin (Day & Night)
-Neutrogena Ultra Sheer SPF 30 lotion (Day)
I have an appointment in June so... I guess I'll update then
ps. If you haven't tried an oatmeal mask yet, it's awesome! haha it gently exfoliates your skin (which I need since I'm not supposed to use any harsh exfoliators like scrubs or glycolics) and calms it down if your skin has been really irritated, red, or dry... Love it Just take a handful of regular oatmeal (not a packet though), put your hand under warm water, and put the wet oatmeal all over your face for 15 minutes
