I never used to have face problems before. Even through highschool and puberty I had a "schoolboy complexion."

I don't know why but now in college I have a lot of shit popping on my face. They're not pimples, though I start to get those now too.

My main problems are these "bumps" on my face which are not acne and don't go away. There not really incredibly unsightly, but I'm used to having a clear face. I also have a bunch of blackheads on my nose that also are very stubborn.

I've tried:
Salycilic acid, Clindamycin, Retinoic acid, Glycolic, Pore sticker nose thingy and still nothing.

Solutions?

use anti-bacterial soap. Clean up more. Do your laundry more often. That includes bedsheets and pillows. Don't share stuff?

exfoliate your face one to two times a week with one of those facial sponges. Also try and eat healthy and stay hydrated, and don't over dry your skin with harsh chemicals.

OP, my guess is that it is, in fact, acne. I had a similar looking problem and that was the dermatologist's diagnosis. The things were somewhat painful to the touch and incredibly persistent, since they rarely came to a head like a normal zit.

As nasty as normal zits are, at least they pop and allow the pus to drain, which gives the immune system a fighting chance to get in and eliminate the infection. In my case, the bumps were deep under the skin and they were filled with pus that was thick and waxy. The only way I was able to get them to drain was through lots of hot-packing and painful squeezing. That, combined with topical clindamycin and oral tetracycline was what did the trick. It took a long time, though, for everything to clear up.

Sorry for the gross details, but that's how it was.
