Could be cosmetic acne (which you can get from not just makeup, but anything that comes into contact with your face). You could try switching back to your previous moisturizer and see if the bumps go away in a couple weeks.

thanks, i'll try.

furthermore, should i moisturize my face before applying benzyl peroxide because my face gets extremely dry after washing my face with the cleanser? (Aveeno Ultra Calming cleanser, I've been using this for almost two years, i usually use it during winter). Nothing wrong with the cleanser, just the time i have to wait for moisturizing my skin. people say you have to wait 5- 15 mins after applying benzyl peroixde, then apply moisturizer

I think this is what has happened to my cheeks. Weird bumps you can see in certain lights (not spots). Ive been messing with my face routine which i think is the cause of it. I am now going back to my original face routine, also I have taken certizine in case it is an allergic reaction to something (as it itches a bit)

UPDATE: The cold weather is actually the culprit. The doctor told me that those bumps are caused by climate change.

What is the remedy? Do you have a photo of your winter bumps?

i just wanted to chime in, i have the exact same issue with the dryness after washing my face. sometimes i think i won't even be able to do my benzoyl peroxide treatment. but i found out that a few cold splashes of water on my face really helps and gets rid of all my flakies. it sounds too simple but you should try it. it's really good for in between face wash and bp. with acne it's tempting to want to use hot water but it's your worst enemy when it comes to the dryness.

another update:

1. few small bumps like blemishes are still on my face but it's not that visible anymore.

2. went to the doctor again and he gave Vitamin A acid for acne and acne scars.

i'll post few photos soon.
