Hey guys , its my first time posting here because i really need help.

a few weeks ago , i went to a dermatolagist because my skin started getting wounds all over for no reason at all and the derm told me that it was allergies to acne cream i was using , so he prescribed me with what I think is petroleum jelly and an acne medicine.So after using the petroleum jelly for about a week , all my wounds were healed and supeisingly all my acne were healed too and my clean was very clear.Following the derm instructions , i changed to the acne med he gave me after a week but the next day , after using the acne med at night , my skin was filled with big acnes but i still kept using the meds because i thought it would go away.

So after another week with no luck i decided to go to another derm, and she prescribed me with dalacin t and differin 0.1%.Another week using those creams , there were no inprovements so i decided to go back to what fixed my acne in the first place , petroleum jelly , unsuprisingly all the big acne i had before were gone so i continued using it but i altered it a bit by using dalacin t / differin first then using petroleum jelly to cover it .Now after a few days all my big acne are almost gone but suddenly there is a whole bunch of tiny bumps on my face all over and i dont know my current application is helping it or making it worse.

i dont know whether this small bumps are even acne.I did research in the internet and it looks similar to papules or clogged pores.Ill post a pic so can you guys help me identify what kind of acne this is and recommend me appropriate treatment?

im kinda low on budget so i wouldnt like to visit another derm unless it gets really bad.

Those look like regular pimples. Honestly it sounds like you didn't give the treatment enough time to work. Topicals can often take up to 6 weeks for you to begin seeing results. Patience is key! You need to pick a treatment and stick to it.
