Bumps like acne on face?
I have been to many doctors for my acne like bumps on the face. All of them had given me antibiotics. For the first time it got cured completely after 7 months it had repeated again and the Antibiotics prescribed by the doctor stopped working and I have it on both sides of the face. It looks like a heat boil like bump or a closed comedones kind of a bump. What should I do? I have no clear picture from the doctor on what kind of acne it is. Looks like a small bump but it is very stubborn to go. Someone give me a clarity on what it looks like and what it is to understand and learn why it has occurred on my face even after a proper diet cutting down dairy and sugar.

It's acne. It could be due to hormonal disturbances. Do you have PCOS ? Are you applying any random creams on your face ?
