Pretty Much Out Of Ideas - Help?

I used to use Quinoderm, which kept me almost completely clear. Now I'm allergic, and can't bring it near my face without getting a massive red ring around my mouth. Think I may be allergic to BP, I'm 99% sure I'm allergic to tetrasodium EDTA (anything containing it yields a similar, but not as bad reaction)

Nothing I've tried since has worked and my skin is pretty much a complete mess right now, and the spots above my mouth just WILL NOT GO AWAY.

I tried tea tree soap. My face cleared up in a matter of days - only to break out worse than it ever has done in a long time.

I tried sulfur soap. Same again, but the breakout wasn't as bad.

Thinking it was the brand, I bought some rediculously expensive organic tea tree soap. That just made it worse from the get go.

Only things I can think of trying are salicylic acid and better quality sulfur soap.

I'm in the UK so I can't get any regimen stuff. Any ideas?

Cheers

I've tried leaving the skin for like two weeks over the holidays, it got about 10x worse unfortunately.

I've bought three things which are pretty highly rated on the review section - Queen Helene mint mask, Epsom salts, Vit B3 and D3, and something else I can't even remember. If they don't work I'm just going to call it a day, I've tried almost everything else.
