Brief Answer:
Appears to be mosquito bites

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Sorry for the delay in my response,

I have seen the image attached.

The lesions appear to be due to mosquito bites, these will subside on their own. There is no need for intervention.

The other possibility is folliculitis, these occur due to blockade of oil glands on face. In case there is increase in the number of lesions over next one day, do visit a dermtalogist for closer examination.

Hope, I answered your query.
