Citric Acid Causing Breakouts

I am a 62yo female and admittedly do not drink enough water - just don’t like the taste. All the water flavorings available (Mio, Crystal Light) all contain citric acid. Any time I drink them, I get at least one or two painful pimples). I’m not sure if this means I’m allergic to the citric acid but I’d love to find a way to counter the reaction so I can use it to help me drink more water.

Thanks!
