[Acne] I messed up my forehead

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I damaged my skin barrier back in March, all my products were causing burning. I stopped using Differin that I'd been on for over 2 years.I tried repairing it with all sorts of things like LRP Cicaplast Baume, CeraVe tub, CeraVe PM, LRP Lipikar, washing with honey, drop of glycerin in moisturizer, vaseline... then bumps started showing up. At the time I thought it was awful but looking back at pictures, it wasn't so bad.Switched to a FA safe routine in case, started Differin again on May 21st. Along the way I also tried Nizoral, Head & Shoulder, De La Cruz (my skin hates it), Clotrimazole 1% cream, Salicylic Acid spot treatment. Felt that the FA-like acne was better in the middle of the forehead, but then inflamed lesions showed up on both sides. Face was getting worst, but purging, you know. Realized the Differin was expired, a year over, stopped using it.The lesions are empty, no white stuff or hard sebum. They kinda look like bug bites. Is this acne, purging, irritation or fungal acne? I'm 35 and at my wits' end... Been going back and forth and doing a 'it's FA, no it's irritated, no it's acne, no it's purging' dance and clearly wrecked it along the way :(I asked my husband to hide all of my actives, masks, etc. I can't be trusted!This is my basic routine:AM: Rince, Uriage Bariederm moisturizerPM: Uriage Bariederm moisturizer and Bioderma Micellar, LRP Dermo Care cleanser if I had foundation on, which is rare latelyHow can my forehead recover from this?Beginning of the forehead acne in April, you can't really see but it was bumpy all over, similar to FAEnd of May (before Differin and DLC mask)​June 23rd. Bumps have spread down. Stopped using Differin on that dayJune 28th, after a De La Cruz 5 minutes mask and skin picking :(
