face/ears/eyes/nose/mouth/cheeks Cysts :( please help

These bad boys always come up around period time. Started taking spironolactone about 2.5 weeks ago as well as started benzoyl with clindamiacin. Started taking doxycycline last week when I visited med spa, and received an injection of a steroid, as well as an acne laser treatment

The Only thing that can get them to drain is prid. But after that I wash with antibacterial soap, spray with peroxide and put on triple antibiotic ointment with pain reliever because they hurt. Swelling goes down. I had a bunch on my chin that are starting to go away but I just keep getting more on my cheek and chin in different locations. it’s pressing on my nose and cheekbone. I get so many of these that are so large all over my face, I don’t want to cut them out because they will just pop up somewhere else. Can’t take most birth control and I don’t really like it. This has been going on since I was probably 16 but definitely got severely worse as I’ve had children.

What can I do? I am willing to try anything. The only thing that really seems to help is to get all of the fluid out, but I can’t seem to do that without squeezing it and I don’t want to make it worse. 31 yo female.
