Any ideas as to what's up with my skin? ...Images included.

I'm 27 my skin's been like this since I was 14 / 15:

It's very red most of the time
very bumpy all over, all of the time.
Sometimes the bumps are spots but mostly just bumps?
sometimes really dry, other times really oily.
a little bit itchy at times.

I have tried everything over the years from tea tree oils, recommended serums and acids from the Ordinary, hydra facials, microdermabrasion, led light treatments, skin detoxes, skin supplements, sugar detoxes, make up detoxes all for months on end..... It feels like I have tried everything.

Does anyone with any back-round knowledge about skin have any idea why my skin is so red and bumpy? Does it look like an allergy? Could it be hormonal?

The one thing I haven't tried for my skin is going on the combined pill, worried that would trigger depression in me.

Have you had it looked at by a dermatologist at all? It reminds me a little of fungal acne/malassesia.

Thank you, looking that up it does looks similar. What I might do is actually try to do a virtual consultation with a dermatologist, at this point not sure when I'll see one for real.
