My wedding is in another month. I started developing these tiny white bumps on Jan 6th and ever since on and off.
It finally went away and again got back on 9th April and yesterday I went to a dermatologist and he recommended me Tretin-A 0.025% Cream (Tretinoin) and melalong cream along with azithromycin.

however Im someone who had 2 antibiotic courses since Jan go up until now and one antibiotic course in last December. (I was prescribed augmentin) for tonsils in December and for a tooth extraction in March.
however I feel like Im not in the right path with the medication I got from the dermatologist. So I stopped antibiotics and started applying chlotrimazole 1%.

am I in the right path? Should I get an oral medication? Since my wedding is in another month Im very worried.

thank you very much

Just at first glance this looks like it could be cosmetic acne to me. It can take months to show up from using the "wrong" makeup for your skin. Have you been using makeup?
