I started getting these about 1.5 weeks ago. I have no idea what they are - only on right cheek. I thought maybe they are shingles but they don't look too much like them. They don't look like warts either. They are itchy but do not hurt. Any ideas?

    maybe related to HPV infection. To be sure, check with a dermatologist.

      Thanks..it ended up being foliculitis according to my doctor. They have gone away mostly, just a little lesion remains that seems to be fading.
