I have normal skin. I get a pimple here and there every now and then. A single pimple. I have never had something so bad as in the pic. So it started off two months back as tiny bumps(colorless, no puss in them, rough to touch) on my forehead. I went to the dermatologist and she prescribed some fusiderm cream. I applied it for like three weeks. No improvement. I started using salicylic acid soap on my own two times a day. It would help me with the acne alot. Also with the acne scars. But this time it started irritating the bumps making them red. So I stopped using it too. Then I presumed it was because of the winter and dryness. I started applying moisturizer all day long. Didn't help. Then I went to another derm. He prescribed clycin t. Again nothing improved. I dropped it and one day later a cyst appeared. And then the next day. Boom. All the whiteheads were there. And also it's soooo itchy and hurts bad. Can't even wash my face or touch it. Also I use sunscreen everyday and I used it before the bumps too so nothing wrong with that. And I double cleanse my face every night to remove the sunscreen properly. So PLEASE HELP ME. Can't apply bp because my skin gets super dry and brownish.

Ok
No I have no acne on my scalp or back of the neck. Surprisingly my cheeks and chin and jawbones are super clear too. And how would I know if this is a fungal infection. And what is the point behind using head and shoulders on my forehead. Won't it irritate and dry my skin out?
You seemed to have switch from product to product in a relatively short period of time which skin doesn't like. Choose one medication and stick with it for 3 months. Keep in mind to be gentle with your skin.
How old are you? Knowing this cold help us figure out if this is possible hormonal or other causes. What's your diet and health like?
I'm 19. My diet and health is pretty good. I never eat fast foods or sugary foods or soft drinks for that reason. Actually the actual reason is that I can't figure out whether it is a bacterial infection or a yeast infection. I tried antibiotics (oral+topical) for two weeks. It aggravated the little bumps badly very slowly. As shown in the pic. I literally panicked. I started using salicylic soap 3 times a day. It aggravated the situation even more. Help!
