My corn is a couple months old but I'm a bit confused whether it's actually a corn or a wart. If it is a corn, what can I do to get rid of it? Would I need surgery for this?

Corn can often be treated with padding and salicylic acid; surgery only if pain persists or diagnosis unclear.

Question

I've had clear skin for a long time, but recently, I had a bad allergic reaction while I was in another state, and now I'm getting these small white pus-filled bumps on my face. They appear and disappear, but leave these flesh-colored bumps that have been sticking around. It's been almost a year like this, and I've tried doxycycline and various acne medications with no success. I even used Proactiv years ago, and it worked then, but now it just irritates my skin. What do you think could be causing this and is there anything else I can try to get rid of these bumps?
