Microneedling yesterday and awoke with face covered in small bumps. Is it ok to put Bentonite clay on them? (Photos)

What caused them? They have an appearance similar to white heads but there isn't anything in them. My face was clear before & I don't get breakouts. I was expecting the redness, tghtness and inflammation but not bumps. I'm am afraid to put anything on my skin other than use my hands to wash with water & Cetaphil & use the hyaluronic acid I was given. Is it ok to put a dot of Bentonite clay on each bump? What likely caused the bumps?
