Getting off gear could have a possibility of making it worse. It does that for me. Your own hormones go into overdrive trying to produce androgens causing even worse acne. That doesn't mean everyone gets that, but a lot of my buddies have that issue. Just warning you. I would say try a different brand. Or start figuring out what the culprit is.
90% of acne is because of something wrong with your folicle area. Could be too much sebum production, skin doesn't shed fast enough, ect.
But I feel like you have something else causing it. Allergy, bacteria, some kind of hardcore reaction.
I would definitely talk to your derm about that. Hopefully you get it figured out.
