ive always had acne and ive been dealing with it for 5 years now, as well as the scars. BUT it has always been somewhat controlled. but now i suddenly broke out into these small tiny bumps all over the face making my face look incredibly bumpy

i just came back from a roadtrip to california and im from vancouver canada and suddenly my face broke out into these small tiny bumps. it makes my face look so bumpy with makeup on. its probably best that i dont put makeup on but i have alwyas had makeup on when i leave my house since 2007. i dont know what happened. was it the humidity? was it because i was out all day for 16 hour days? i have no idea! it could be anything. i do have an incredibly oily complexion

i was reading a post from last year who posted a picture of what they had and it is pretty much what my face looks as well.

Do you wear makeup? What does your routine look like now? List brands too

I woke up this spring covered in bumps on my face, neck, and chest!
I too have very oily skin and was in super humidity...
I am still covered...
I'm still searching for a cure:(...

yes i wear makeup. i wear everyday minerals. i have been using them for about 5 years now.
my regimen is:

AM:
Dessert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash
Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunscreen SPF 30
then my makeup

PM:
Dessert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash
then I switch between scrubs (Dermalogica/ Stem Organics Scrub/ Collective Wellbeing Honey Buff)
I usually use Dan's BP, but last week I was trying Mario Badescu Healing Cream
Jojoba Oil (but also last week I was using Biovera Calendula Cream)

from the past two days I stopped Mario Badescu and Biovera Cream just in case those were the products breaking me out. I cant tell though since my bumps are still there. I also feel liek some of them have turned red non inflamed ones. Making it look like I have tons of pimples all over my face.

I dont know if I should consider Accutane or not. I don't have the painful big cystic acne that people usually go on accutane for. I also just graduated so Im no longer covered/insured by school or my parents anymore. So it'll be quite expensive
