Finally someone else with the same thing! I have these annoying little bumps all over my forehead, jawline and right in the groove beneath my cheekbones. For the past year I have had flare-ups in which they stick around for a week or two and then go away, but recently they have become a permanent addition to my face. Finally went to the derm and she said they are tiny whiteheads and some are blackheads. She explained that when women break out along their jawline and around their mouth it is hormonal. She prescribed Retin-A Micro and Cephalexin and recommended Ortho-Tricyclen. I've only been using the stuff for about 10 days and just today have started to see a slight improvement. I really hope this stuff works because it is very annoying! I've become so self conscious I swear under the lights at work people must think I've got an awful rash that just won't quit!
