Wow, this looks very similar to what I am experiencing... the only thing that has ever helped was 2.5% benzoyl peroxide... have you found a way to get rid of them?

Take a look at the photo I posted-- are your bumps especially viewable under sunlight?

I usually get this reaction from loose powder, especially from Laura Mercier's loose powders and baked highlighter.

Thank you for your reply! I appreciate it. :)

:/ I went for 6 months without make-up, and the bumps got worse. 2 1/2 of those months I only used a mild face wash (cerave hydrating wash), but acne and these bumps got considerably worse.

I'm currently using differin 1% at night, Benzoyl 2.5% in the morning, washing with Purpose, and moisturizing with an oil-free hyaluronic gel based moisturizer... this has helped, but have not completely rid me of the bumps. Decreasing the differin has helped with redness and sensitivity, but oil production has increased.

I found that the oilier my skin gets, the worse the bumps appear... drying the skin out helps but also creates awful wrinkly skin... which is quite unsightly in itself... any other suggestions? Thoughts?

Thanks in advance :)

Have you found out how to get rid of it? :)

Dear Rubyx, I just found this forum and I am facing the same problem. Did you manage to find a solution? I am having this on and off for almost 4 months. Tried a lot of things so far - I went to the dermatologist and the doctor said it was acne. I took antibiotics for 30 days and used a gel that has retin a as main component. It worked and in 2 months it was all gone. I stopped using the gel because my skin was very sensitive to it (it was like a peeling), and surprise: it all come back. :( I am really frustrated.

If you found a solution, please share with me.

Kind regards,
Karol

I had them, too. According to what I read, they're either whiteheads or warts. Whiteheads can be removed by regular cleaning. Warts dry up and fall off after two years. Don't pick on them if you think they're warts. It'll be painful, bleed, and leave a scar.

I had a pair of warts on my eyelids some years ago. They looked disgusting. I waited two years, regularly washing my face and moisturizing with Nivea Creme. But only one of them had fallen off. The other one had dried up but remained on my face. So I picked on it to remove it. It became painful before it fell off and left a scar. I've been removing the scar with All Purpose Hydroquinone Cream. The scar is barely visible now.

You can also try microdermabrasion. I tried it years ago and it really worked on my whiteheads.

Some people also opt for surgery to get their warts removed, but that's the last resort.

I used to think that I'm the only who has this problem. I had some under my chin, and it was hardly noticeable. But recently, it has turned into zit and you might know, that is one bada** feeling :(
