I don't know what's going on with my face lately, but I don't know if this is acne or a rash. I don't use anything on my face and just wash my face with plain water. My skin has been producing excessive oil that it was actually getting in my eyes and my eye doctor recommend to wash my face several times a day. So any suggestions on what can I do?

You should try a face wash not just water

Looks like acne to me. If it's not temporary, maybe try a cream? I know Clean & Clear has some. I use Tazorac, a prescribed cream from my dermatologist. I wouldn't reccomend putting makeup on over it until it gets better. Hope everything turns out okay!

I agree with Melissa. Don't forget to protect by using SPF only during the day and wash it off at night. You shouldn't wash your face more than twice a day. Too much cleansing will probably cause your body to produce more oil. Starting simple is best and use a toner with salicylic acid until the acne dies down.
