I have got allot of little bumps that you need to be closer too the mirror to see, and also those little white bumpes.. that if you put pressure on your skin you can see some random pore with rlittle round white things,,, some pop.. some go away.. and some turn into bigger but still kinda small bumps that hurt to pop... i have been on retin-a micro .1% durring the day and benzaclyn at night... aswell as minocyclin 100 mg 1 time at night.... i cant figure out these bumps...... any suggestions or anything?? when i get a little bit of sun and my skin tans you cant hardly tell anything is there... its kinda weird... anyways i hate having to do that... but any suggestions?

Benzaclyn made my acne worse. In fact, I had the same response you're having. I stoped using it and my acne started to clear. It's a very agressive medicine. Try using just cleocin t gel instead.

Hi, I had the exact same thing you are describing. Small flesh couloured bumps all over my cheeks, mine went away in the summer as well. Unfortuantly for me, My doctor started giving me topid steroid cream (big nightmare) now my skin is a total mess from these creams. I was using these creams on and off for a year and a half.
anyways, it doesn't sounds like you really need retin a and benzoyl peroxide mediacations for small bumps. Those medicines are for more severe acne/pimples. Try a topical antibiotic. Ask your doctor. If you find something that works let me know

yeah.... thanks for all your suggestions... the only thing is is the minocyclin gets rid of any body acne for me.... the benzaclyn get rid of little bumps on my forhead and the sides by my ears, and the retin a micro gets rid of those large painful ones... so its really weird i dont know what too do about these things.... now i am trying MSM ( basicly a natural sulfer drug ) noni juise , vitiman c and i will see how that goes....
