[Routine Help] Learned I have fungal acne/folliculitis, need some help with a routine as I can't do the normal beginner one!

Beauty Tips For Body Care
It's just little white bumps on my cheeks/forehead/jaw and a lot of them on my chest and arms. My body will probably just fade as I stopped using any kind of oils, and I'll use the same cleanser I do on my face for it, but I'm more concerned about my face. I know everyone likes to say YMMV but I guess I'm just asking for some general recommendations that might help me with this situation. My skin is not overly oily at all, it's more normal but very sensitive. But if I had to pick between using a product for oily skin or for dry I would pick oily. The folliculitis is chronic so it will come back if I take something to try to get rid of it permanently.For this I have to use oil-free products, I'm mostly not sure what active to use to treat something fungal and I'm definitely not sure of an oil-free active to use. I did not have a routine whatsoever because I thought my skin was just too sensitive for everything (when in actuality it was just the oil).Here is what I have bought so far and plan on using:-Neutrogena Oil Free Deep Clean Cream Cleanser (but does anyone have any recommendations instead? I feel like it might end up being too harsh for my face)-Teddie Organics Rose Water Facial Toner & Freshener-99% Organic Aloe Gel-Clinique Dramatically Different Gel-Vicco Turmeric Skin Cream-Ayur Sandal Face Pack (Multani Mitti, Calamine powder and kaolin powder)I also bought BIOTONE Healthy Benefits Oil-Free Face Massage Creme because I like to do self-massage and I figured maybe it would work as a body lotion but I don't know if that's relevant.What I'm doing right now is (while I wait for the other one to come in) using Cerave Hydrating Cleanser (it feels too oily on me though), then Aloe Vera Gel on my body and face, and then the Clinique on my face.I'm assuming I need a sunscreen and active to help kill the fungus. I always thought I had dry skin and could never understand why I would get itchy bumps no matter what oil I put on and thought my skin was just too sensitive, so I have no experience with treating anything like this.
