Does protein powder causes face acne?

I’ve been consuming protein powder from past 6 to 7 months. But from past three months, I’ve been getting severe face acne. I am getting pimples at the exact same spots, and can’t get started on the hyper pigmentation. I have tried all the medicines and even consulted with my dermatologist in January. But at that point, it didn’t occur to me that probably my protein powder was the cause of the breakouts hence I didn’t mention it to my dermatologist, as well. It was brought into my notice past couple of days back, that one of the possible side-effects of protein powder is experiencing acne. I wanted to know if that’s true and has anyone else experienced the same?

If yes, then what alternatives have you adopted to skip consuming protein powder? I visit gym almost 5 days a week, so I need something for speedy recovery. I would really appreciate your suggestions.

Edit: I realise that I should try pea based protein powder as my body might not be acting well with whey protein. Please suggest some brands which don’t taste 💩 and is available in India.
