[Skincare-help] Flare up

Helppp i feel so distraught. My whole life I have had relatively clear skin. A couple of months ago I had an extreme breakout all over my face. I was prescribed doxy and prednisone and it cleared up but ofc came back after. I cleared it completely with Nizoral, Vanicream cleanser, and Purito oat gel moisturizer. I added a mineral sunscreen (Blue Lizard sensitive) to my routine about a month ago and didn’t have any reaction to that either. Recently I noticed when i applied the Purito gel my face was still super dry so i’d add more layers and noticed it was burning. My skin got textured so I washed with Nizoral and added some aloe vera to my routine since then my skin has just been getting worse! I stopped using the aloe because I think I have overdoing it and that may have been making it worse? (I have super sensitive skin) I got prescribed an oral anti fungal from an online dermatologist today which I think will help but what should I change about my routine?

I’m thinking maybe a new moisturizer because it was not hydrating and starting to burn. Maybe azealic acid as well. The nizoral also seems soooo stripping so I’m not even sure if this is fungal, rosacea, or a type of dermatitis. Pleaseee any recs or similar skin types help!!

I have been using the same moisturizer ( Oat in gel calming moisturizer) for a couple of months now but recently felt like it wasn’t moisturizing enough. Recently maybe for about 3 weeks now i’ve been using a sunscreen after and I thought it was helping my skin. But I now have these dry bumps all over one side of my face and i’m trying to figure out if it’s some type of reaction to something? Does any one have any recommendations for products, I have very sensitive skin. (photo doesn’t rlly do too much justice it’s very textured and red)
