I am sick and tired of these pesky bumps! PLEASE! Someone help me! The rest of my imflamed acne is under control, but if these dumb bumps were gone, I'd be a happy camper!
Can anyone please recommend anything for these clogged pores?

I used to get flesh coloured bumps and still do but much much less. I got rid of it by switching to Paula's Choice which didn't have any irritating ingredients/fragrants at all which I believed was what was causing it from the previous line or products I was using (dermalogica). You should also try a BHA or AHA exfoliant if you can.

I was considering it, but I don't know if I want to go through the purge I have all these bumps, and if all of them come out and turn into inflamed pimples, trust me, it will not be a pretty sight.

Oh I know how you feel. I'm using a body wash with Salicylic Acid and my chest is reallllly purging, it's gross. Whiteheads galore!

If you want to avoid purging, go for AHA, instead of BHA.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. AHA definitely causes purging upon the first few applications until your skin adjusts to it. AHA, glycolic acid, tretinoin, isotretinoin, etc are all derivatives of Vitamin A. They all cause purging upon initial use because the excess stuff lingering in the pores is being pushed out.
