Small Cluster Of Dry Pimples Near Nose, Red Lumps, No Change In Diet. On Cortisone. What Is The Reason?

Hi I have a small cluster of dry pimples near my nose and going down 1/2in along my laugh lines around my mouth. They've been here for months and everything I've been using isn't working. I've tried cortisone cream and that worked really well the first few times with the redness and dryness going down, but now there's hardly any reaction, it's still red and flakes; a small cluster of raised red lumps, no white heads. I havent changed my diet or taken any medications, i also havent changed my makeup brand or moisturizers, so i dont think those could be at fault since they have been the same products/ diet the passed few years. Please help!!!! -Z
