I feel your pain, I'm going through the same thing a litte after two months out of OP. Worse part for me is the bumps, they seem to be only on one side of my temple and this area is getting worse. The bumps are more sensative and the area is not only sore but numb. I have been applying hot towels every morning and night and just when they seem to settle down, I wake up the next morning and the bumps are back and bigger! I have been applying anti-biotic cream as well, little to no effect. Everyone keeps telling me that it will take several months to see any improvement and any difference. so I keep holding on to that. But I feel the same as you, like I've just spent allot of money for nothing. I will keep waiting and will not give up, hope you keep plugging as well....
