unsure where to start

hello all. i’ve only just found out about this community so im not sure what advice can be given but any is appreciated.

i don’t want to make this very long but basically about 2-3 years ago my skin started to break out crazily whenever it got hot out (like in images attached from today)and i don’t really know how to treat/prevent it.

i’m inclined to think i have fungal acne. i went to a dermatologist for the first time ever at the beginning of the year and told her much. however, i kinda felt like i was blown off about it in the immediate sense so now i really don’t know. she originally prescribed me to get on doxxycycline and tretinoin (which helped a bit with overall acne but it was before it got hotter). now im on the same tretinoin Rx but sub in 25 mg spiranolactone. the reason im seeking advice is because i won’t be able to see another dermatologist until august when my health insurance resumes and my face is feels the worst it ever has. can anyone give any insight? here is my skincare routine for reference as well:

morning: vanicream bar soap, anua azalaic acid serum, vanicream facial moisturizer, anua zero cast sunscreen

night: vanicream bar soap, vanicream facial moisturizer, tretinoin 0.1% (note: i also just recently started using the anti-dandruff shampoo at night because i’ve read it helps but nothing to report on that as of yet really)
