So I've had these little tiny bumps everywhere for over a year now. It all started when I got off of the BC pill, and my face has not recovered. They are all pus filled. My brother (who is in medical but not dermatology) said it looked like a rash. Does it look like some kind of allergic reaction? I use Cetaphil face wash in the morning and neutrogena face wash with salicylic acid at night and spot treat my numerous tiny pimples with proactiv's sulfur mask. In the morning if my skin is dry, I usually put on some Cetaphil lotion that is designed for oily skin. I also take zinc (100mg), omega -3, vit C, Cod liver oil (for A & D) every night.

Also, I'm a vegetarian and can not cut out diary from my diet or I'll have health issues. Soy is also a staple in my diet along with breads and potatoes.

I'm not sure what the problem is, but don't have enough money right now to go to the doc. What do you think it is?  IMG_0465.JPG   64.55K   3 downloads  IMG_0466.JPG   78.25K   3 downloads  IMG_0469.JPG   74.2K   3 downloads

anyone? :0 Should I go back on the BCP? I really don't want to because of the heightened risk of breast cancer (which runs in my family), and I'm also not sure about spiro either and the breast cancer risk. Anything else I can do to help hormonal acne? Or this comedonal acne? I don't know what it is!!
