It sounds kind of like what I got about 4 years ago, turns out I was allergic to my skin cleanser, then I tried another one, and another one...Anyway I haven't yet found one that I dont' react to, so I don't use any cleanser on my face, just water, occasionally, maybe once every week or two i'll use septra and make sure to rinse it off really good. I used to use aloe vera as a moisturizer and found that I was starting to react to that as well.

So now that i'm off all cleansers and moisturizers (and I don't wear any powder or foundation) my skin is alot better, though I still have breakouts of the reaction around my period!

So even if you're using something new on your face, or even your hair you may be reacting to it.

And another tip I got was to tie my hair back at night so it's not on my face, that way any pollution or hair products don't contribute to the problem

hope this helps!

I had moderate seborrheic dermatitis and this produces effects similar to what your describing. You need an antifungal agent and possibly a mild steroid cream but put the idea to your doc first.
