Hello! Like many others I am searching for guidance. I’ve always had clear skin since the time I can remember - four months ago in march I started to develop what I believed to be a rash woke up one morning with pustules around my cheekbone area on both sides of my face. I don’t take any medications nor use anything out of the ordinary on my face. Background, during the winter I started to use a dermelogica retinol for the first time (2x’s) and I was exfoliating as well probably over did it and damaged the skin barrier. I also was taking very hot showers and not moisturizing my face nor body. I started to flushing in certain areas of the face a lot skin was very dry then the pustules happened. I used hydrocortisone 2.5% sparingly for three days it was better but still blotchy. Then it all started to get even worse. The last four months have been terrible. Went to the beach for the first time, used vanicream sunblock on face and blue lizard sensitive on body. My face broke out in pustules all over my face everywhere same with my chest and back. I have no idea what’s happening. Some pictures I’ve taken look like every single pore is clogged maybe that’s why? Please help! ALSO I had taken prednisone which was not advised to tapper off of and right after that course was done I took augmentin in which during that time my face was completely fine.i I took these leading up to the initial outbreak and the reason was because I had an adverse reaction to Botox that was now four months ago and the derm doesn’t think it has anything to do with what’s happening. The derm also doesn’t know what’s wrong with my skin taking biopsy’s to figure it out? 

What’s happening to my skin
