All because of a cookie dough milkshake...sigh....

Should've known better.

I've had this breakout for about a week now and nothing seems to really calm it down. I've tried the hot compress on the underground, red painful ones, and I'm unsure of what to do about the little bitty white heads...ice, 10% bp, tea tree oil, bha liquid, hydracortisone cream, aspirin, salt water, epsom salt, NOTHING. I know, I know. I'm using too many things. But I was experimenting each night to see if one would help more than the other. I've been taking cinnamon pills for about a week as well. Also avoiding dairy and chocolate. I won't be able to see a derm until feb. 27th (yikes.)
Any suggestions? I'm really tired of it.

Are those just red spots? Are they white heads that you popped? Are they red bumps? I can't really tell.

I have an idea, try doing nothing.. Maybe because you are doing so many things all at once, it is worsening your breakout.

Also, how sure are you that the cookie milkshake caused this? do you normally not drink milk?

Theyre not whiteheads but red painful bumps.....they usually are flat in the morning but have risen at night. Ive tried doing nothing but my skin got worse by the next morning, believe me.
