i have had a major pustular break out after using hydrating creams on my skin..... messed up the clear skin which I had managed to get after years and years of battle.

 

Some of the pustules were straight whiteheads, and just went away in a couple of days.

others came up since, but they are really little whiteheads.

 

That said, on my right cheek, i am having bigger pustules which I do not understand.

5 or 6 swollen bumps which had white caps until yesterday. The white caps are now gone for most of them, but the swollen bumps are still here. Is this normal? Should I pop and help them drain? Or are they drained already?

 

I am not putting anything on my skin anymore. Cavemen regimen again.

Just a little bit of ice in the evening, and some TTO on the pustules....

 

I am so gutted. A week ago, I had an ok skin.... Just dry.... And now this.

 

Don't know what to do with them...

I would say go back to using a cleanser and apply benzoyl peroxide to them. Sometimes when you see them start forming, if you apply benzoyl peroxide you can stop them. You're brave sticking to that caveman regime. I couldn't do it if they paid me to.

I actually stoped the caveman regime. It was making things worse, though hiding all the pimples under the dry skin mask.
