    Dear Dora,

    I think you could have facial molluscum contagiosum (MC). Here's a leaflet describing the condition.

    https://www.bad.org.uk/shared/get-file.ashx?id=220&itemtype=document

    Do you suffer from eczema or any pre-existing skin condition/s? I ask because MC is more common in people with skin conditions (clue- the corner of your mouth looks dry and cracked).

    I think you should see a dermatologist and ask them to examine your facial rash specifically for MC.

    Definitely not herpes; folliculitis/facial acne are other possibilities but the photo suggests MC.

    Rgds,

    Adhari
