Is dry sore like pimples normal?

Nessie • 💐
So I've been off birth control for 9 months now & before I got on them I had pretty bad acne. It only makes sense if I get bad acne after coming off of them. Maybe I'm just not used to having much acne but lately I've been getting pimples around my mouth / lip area, on & around my nose & chin. They come up with a white head then after popping them they get a sore type dry texture to them that lasts for days. I constantly pick at them and it makes them scab back over. Does anyone know why my pimples would turn into sores? Is this normal? I took this picture today & it's actually the calmest my skin has been. I circled the dry patches I have atm & where I seem to keep them. I use moisturizer on the daily & I still seem to keep dry flaky skin. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
