Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tender and red spots on face which could be due to allergic reactions to substances causing irritation of the skin, excessive exposure to sunlight, contact dermatitis, such as when you come in contact with poison ivy or cold sores, dermatitis, or eczema. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply cold compresses on them , take antihistamine like benadryl , do not pick them at all and apply moisturizer. You can apply combination of topical adapalene + nadifloxacin gel at night. If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination and rule out cause like chicken pox and bullous pemphigoid . Doctor may prescribe corticosteroid or antibiotics course .
