Two days ago I noticed a cluster of tiny white bumps on my lower face that looks similar to a vascular occlusion I had resolved in Feb. I have no pain, no itchiness, and no changes in my skin care routine. The only thing I can think of is I had a random bug bite to my bottom lip so I applied ice and then I woke up with this.
