I'm 22 and I've only just started to get acne. I'm beyond frustrated. I've seen a dermatologist who told me I don't have a rash, just minor pimples. According to him, my redness on my cheeks and nose is "from being fair skinned".

I know I have hormonal related acne on my chin, but these burning/itching dots on the sides of my face are completely new and I have no idea what to do or put on them. I'm terrified they won't go away. Does anybody know what this even is? is this fungal? I haven't been using any new products so I don't know what I could be reacting to. I don't want to wait another 4 months for a dermatologist to tell me to use salicylic acid cream

about a month ago I took antibiotics for a tick bite and I had the CLEAREST skin of my life, and now it's like I'm breaking out worse than ever a few weeks after stopping them.

please help if you can, and let me know if I shouldn't be posting here. Thank you

Um it could be rosacea its not acne, but the redding of cheeks and skin. If you call that a breakout im appalled it doesnt even look like a breakout.
