Is This Even Acne? +Pictures

Hi there! Lately my face has started itching along my hairline and chest. This could be because it's dried out from acne products (my skin is super oily but also dehydrated). Does this look like acne or is it possibly Pityrosporum Follicutlitis? I tried Nizoral but it didn't really help, neither did an anti fungal cream. The acne on my chest is also resistant to EVERYTHING and if I try to pop a spot it gets SUPER red and inflamed. If I do manage to pop any of the spots on my face, a white stringy substance comes out. I don't drink or eat milk, wash my face twice a day, etc. Is this maybe an allergic reaction to something? Why is my face so bad? And now I suddenly have acne along my jawline. It could be partially hormonal, but none of my acne is cystic. HELP!

Looks like acne to me, but if you're concerned it's best go see a doctor/derm to confirm!

Looks a lot like what I have. I don't know for sure but I'd guess it's acne. Usually that pityrosporum thing is if you've taken lots of antibiotics.
sometimes if I eat dairy or certain fruits( banana avocado kiwi) I get itchy spots.
could it be from a hair product? I find always washing your hair first in the shower and making sure you get off all the residue before getting out. Try using cetaphil antibacterial bar for a while and see if it helps.
if your skin is very oily it's probably hormonal acne.
