I have had clear skin my whole life and suddenly at the age of 24, seemingly overnight, I developed many small bumps on my forehead which turned into cystic pimples at various stages, this has been happening for 2.5 months now and has even started happening on my chin and around my nose. I have tried acne cleansers and also just washing with dove soap and water and cutting back on makeup. I have had no luck getting rid of this and the only thing I can think of that may have caused it is I went on flagyl for an infection about a week before all this started. I'm desperate help!

Maybe you should go to a gynocologist, you may have problems with your hormones which can cause acne. Especially if you have PCOS

Maybe start with your doctor to see if they can give you something to help or a dermatologist. I had sudden acne too which started at the beggining of this year which now I am on accutane for. Hope you find something that works for you :)
