Stubborn Closed Comedones 🙁

Hey you guys! I've uploaded some pictures of my really pesky closed comedones. I have had these for a few years now on my cheeks and just to the left and the right of my jaw. My forehead is clear of closed comedones and only gets a pimple every now and then. I also have closed comedones around my lips and nose. I have tried lots of topicals, gone to two different dermatologists, had face peels, and extractions. 

The only successful entries I've seen only has been people who had my type of acne and then cut out dairy, yeast, and anything refined like sugars and flours. I find it to so hard to commit to a diet like that, but I thought if I saw some more examples of people who have had success doing that, it might motivate me. The only other thing is I have seen lots of people online say that diet does not affect acne (or at least not this type) so I really don't know who to believe! 

Thank you so much for any help. I've attached pictures.

Finally I saw someone who have the same problem. Its 100% the same issue base on the photos you've posted. I went to derma and she said there are two medication we can try:

1. Extraction (Not suggested in my case because the closed comedones are so many like 100's of them lol

2. Oral medication using Isotretinoin

 

I tried the 1st one though to remove the bigger and showy one and will try the medication for the smaller and hiding one

 

Hopefully in 3 months I will see the result
