Like acne but not?

[tom]

I have not had much acne for many years. The day after visiting visit scandinavia I woke up with what look like spots, 20-30 some very small some larger on the right upper quarter of my face. Some are right next to my eye and very small. Cant sqeeze them and they arnt acne spots.. they look like a cross between blisters and spots.

A few days have gone by with one or two new ones i think but little change. Can anyone tell me what they could be?

do they itch? could be bug bites.

they dont itch and i am hardly aware of them but look very bad, more spots then ive ever seen and all in the one quarter of my face. Could an allergic reaction do that?

yes if you touched your face with something that you are allergic too. usually it doesn't stay in one area. if an allergy starts it usually goes beyond the spot that touched you. have you used anything new on your face? have you washed your pillowcases in something new? detergent, fabric softener? does the area hurt? if it hurts maybe it is time to see a doctor. it might be shingles. i think it is best to see a doctor.
