Can I Apply Lotion After I Use an Oil-free Acne Wash?

I currently, just started using Neutrogena oil-free acne wash daily scrub twice a day (mornings and before i go to bed).
I apply lotion everyday right after I take a shower and brushing my teeth in the morning.

I want to know should I moisturize my face with lotion even though i used the oil-free acne wash?
fyi: I use vaseline intensive rescue moisture locking lotion (hypoallergenic moisturizer) on my face.

the point: I want to rid my acne I have developed.

What Should I Do? I have Dry Skin And Pimples on the Same Areas of my Face?

I've really been having problems with acne lately on my forehead (particularly lower forehead between the eyebrows) and on my chin. It's really annoying me because I never used to be one to have bad skin. Most of my friends went through this problem during their early teenager years (13-15), but I'm only starting to have bad skin now at 17. And no, it's not because I hit puberty late or anything.

I've tried several different things over the last couple months, but lately what I've been doing is using a toner in the morning, a salicylic acid treatment in the afternoon followed by a hypoallergenic moisturizer before putting on make-up, and washing make-up off with an olay facial cleaning pad at night. My forehead is typically really oily when I get up in the morning, so about a week ago I decided to start using a benzoyl peroxide cream on my forehead before bed. I was pleased for a couple days when I would wake up and my forehead was not oily, but now I'm just getting really bad dry skin. It got to the point I just skip the benzoyl peroxide and put moisturizer on before bed because my forhead was peeling and my whole face was so dry and tight that it was uncomforatable. It's been like this for about 3 days.

This leaves me with my current problem. I still have the acne, but my skin is also dry. I've gotten a couple new zits, so I don't know if extra moisturizer caused this or not. At the same time I have a very bad pimple on my chin which I think might be infected, it's been sore for about 5 days now and looks no better. I popped it and put benzoyl peroxide on it, but it just stayed sore and got gross and flaky.

I know this is a long question, but I would really appreciate if someone with a similar problem could give me some advice. I don't have a whole lot of money to spend on treatments, or time to do them. What should I do?

Super Frustrating Acne, Now As an Adult?

I'm a 21 year old female, and I developed acne when I was about 19. Before this, I never had a problem with acne. I realized a year ago that my vitamins were causing my breakouts, so I stopped taking them and my skin cleared up a lot!
Problem is, my skin will be clear, then out of nowhere I still get really stubborn breakouts on my cheeks and jawline, and I don't know why! I have enlarged pores and some blackheads on my cheeks but they are too deep to extract.
I've used pretty much every product out there too, and benzoyl peroxide seems to be the only thing that remotely works. Why will my skin be clear for a few weeks and then go crazy? I do notice just before my period starts I get more

I'm vegetarian and eat mostly pastas and breads along with fruits. I drink a lot of soymilk too. I eat only organic foods. I had clearer skin BEFORE I began eating so healthy... what gives??!

I change my bed sheets and pillow cases frequently, wash my face twice daily, use hypoallergenic makeup, try not to touch my face... etc.

Does anyone have this same problem? Why am I getting acne as an adult now??!!!
Thanks!
thankyou sweet, but actually I run for an hour a day, and i always take showers with my doors shut... but thanks anyways!

Is this a Rash Or some Kind of Bug Bites?

Here is a link to 2 photos to show what I am talking about. I received what looked like a bite, or maybe acne a few weeks ago. Then 2 more appeared within a week. Now as you can see there is a row. They tend to stay on the left side of my stomach (which is where this shot was taken), and I even had like 2 on my chest. Always on the left side. I checked my bed for signs of bed bugs, and no bugs, skins, feces, blood stains etc. I switched to hypoallergenic detergent a week ago. Why is this only on my stomach and on the left side? What do you think this is? Please help. Thanks and God bless.

I work in childcare, but I haven't seen any rashes on any of the children I work with. Only thing that tends to go around for the most part is either colds, stomach viruses, or pink eye.
I didn't start itching until this afternoon, and once I got home I saw this trail or rash on my stomach. And now the itching isn't as bad.

It didn't start itching until yesterday afternoon. No rash in the morning, but I noticed the rash when I checked in the mirror after getting home at night. Even right now it is not itching.
