Extremely itchy, bumpy, red face

Question

Asked for Female, 20 Years

I am a 20 year old female who started to get these flesh colored little (very itchy) bumps all over my face when I was 13. I was prescribed doxycycline and have been taking it on and off since then. While the doxy helps, it doesn’t get rid of these bumps entirely, and still causes itching. Since turning 20 I no longer have any acne or spots on my back, chest or neck. My face is still very itchy and red and extremely bumpy. It’s mostly on my forehead and cheeks. I need help please
