Are the acne painful? Do you got oily skin?

It is not painful when i make my normal face

the side gets painful when i try to smile

so no

My skin is extremely dry and a little oily

I'm sorry, I cannot help you then. I only got experience with oily skin.. Again, good luck.

Have you eaten anything strange recently, changed up your products, worn something new, etc? It seems kind of like an allergic reaction of sorts so maybe you should go through the last couple of days to see if anything might have triggered this reaction.

hmm, heres what i think i have done differently...

ranked from most suspicious to least

0. I had just suffered from an allergic reaction 2-3 weeks ago, It first made my face extremely red and hard

The the skin started to become dry

and then it began to crack and peel off. Over the course of that allergic reaction, my skin was super clear! The " before" picture on the topic post was taken right after the skin peeled off.

Now it is a week and a half since the skin was peeled off and my face literally exploded recently

1. I have used desonide lotion 2 weeks ago to combat my redness from previous allergic reaction (steroid cream)

I smeared it all over my face for 2 whole weeks

Literally no rednessa and face got very clear. For some reason, I thought the lotion was used to combat acne so i continued to smear it over my face then this happened

2. Since my skin is dry, I just go a cetaphil moisturizer

I used it

WITH the desonide lotion because i was dumb and stupid and thought i was smart for doing that

"look 2 birds with 1 stone! :D"

3. I have been taking doxycycline hyclate for a couple of weeks

4. Strange food i ate that i dont know of (unlikely)

5. took alot of tests and LOTS more tests coming up, stress?? (unlikely)

i would guess its because of the desonide lotion but i used it for a month and nothing has happened and this is so sudden (3 days)

and how long is this going to last??? ((((

Its getting worse and worse and spreading to every single corner of my face......

hopefully, it would go away by 2 weeks!!!

i just dont like how its gettin worse and ilve decided that i will give it 2 weeks without putting any products on my face to get better

so would this breakout be considered a allergic reaction, regular breakout or hopefully a purge? haha

and.... it would be funny if i recreate the "good" allergic reaction, it was to aloe vera gel, haha joking......

Quitting your topical products is a good idea - hopefully your skin will calm down. You did seem to have quite a list... What caused your initial allergic reaction, if you don't mind me asking. Is it possible that this is a 2nd allergic reaction towards the same thing? I wouldn't call this a breakout/purge...I don't think many people break out in comedonal acne/clogged pores, it's a kind of acne that usually builds up over time as opposed to overnight, as far as I know. If, after the 2 weeks, you decide to try some topicals again/return to your old products, I would suggest going one at a time so you can figure out which ones irritate your skin and avoid any interactions b/w products.

Let us know how it goes - good luck!

Thanks, I dont think Im going back to any products at all until this acne clears up or gets better haha

Dont want to make any more risks

for god sake, 2 allergic reactions back to back, haha

The first one was to Aloe Vera Gel ( I dont use it anymore )
