Every so often I get a breakout on my face. The best way I can describe them is--smalls cluster of smalls bumps located on my face. Perfect example is that, this time I have several clusters of these tinnie bumps on my left cheek, a few (maybe about 4 to 6) on my upper lip and a few even going into my nostril. The bumps are filled with a tinnie bit of a clear fluid. After a few miserable days, they dry up. My doctor(s) were no help whatsoever. I feel like wearing a bag over my head when I have these break outs. Anyone with any ideas? Please?!

Sounds like a little bit of poison ivy if you ask me. Or Poison Oak. You definitely don't want to pop them if that's what it is.

I and a friend of mine get something very similar on our hands. Through trial and error we have both narrowed it down to a food allergy. Food allergy symptoms manifest themselves in varied and strange ways - I have found overthe past couple of years.
My family carries gluten intolerence and Celiac genes, making gluten (wheat , rye and barley) something that will cause a wide variety of reactions including the bumps.
You should pay close attention to what you are eating and when you get the bumps- keep a food diary if you can- write down what you feel like when you wake up, everything you put in your mouth and when you feel tired, sick, irritable, etc (mood swings, irritability and exhaustion are related to food allergies and intolerances) write down when you notice the bumps and when they go away. After a week or two you should be able to see a pattern and possibly eliminate the offending foods if that is the case. You can get food allergy tested and this will help, but an allergy test will not show a food intolerance which affects the body slightly differently so will not show up on an allergy test- but is important to pinpoint all the same as you can be doing damage to your gut by eating what your body cannot digest or break down properly.

It sounds like you are having a problem with emphintigo or just a cluster of zits. I would suggest that you try washing your face with a mixture of 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup of vinigar and see if that will help. If it continues then you might want to see a Dematologist to get to the bottom of your problem.

At least your doctor said he/she doesn't know. I went to mine and he told me I might have herpes, I'm talking the bad kind. It was just jock itch, I didn't appreciate that. He is no longer my doctor. Even I knew it was jock itch and I'm not a friggin doctor.
But I know what you are talking about. I used to get those and sometimes I do when I am stressed out (clusters on my cheek). It's just zits though. Have you been stressed lately?
I would say go see a dermatologist. They really know their stuff. Regular doctors (family practice) haven't a clue.

You really need to read "Banish My Bumps" by Angela Steinberg (also available in electronic format here: http://www.banishbumps.com ). It's about how to permanently cure your Keratosis Pilaris naturally. I was able to clear my skin in only 7 days after reading this.
Stop paying paying each month good money on creams. This is exactly what the pharmaceutical industry wants you to do! They want to milk money from you each month.

Sounds like herpes to me. If they are painful and filled with clear liquid...yep. Millions of people have it...when you first feel it coming on, if you take a clean pin or needle and pop/drain the liquid, it will begin to heal right away. Otherwise, contact your Doctor for medication...a different Doctor. Allot of stress in your life usually brings them on for most people.

Maybe it is dry skin? Instead of a general MD, try going to a skin specialist (dermatologist). They will know right away what it is- and how to get it to go away! Good luck

When I have had them they called it Keratosis Pilaris and got them gone with cortisone cream.. I hope that helps you somehow.. I would suggest a Dermo clinic could help if that doesn't

There is know way to know for sure unless we know for sure. Your best bet is going to a dermatologist. It is way different than a primary care doctor, which I am assuming is what you go to.

It could be HSV-1 or acne--both are common! Go see a dermatologist!
