Several ideas: This may be a form of acne. Keep your hands off of your face. Avoid scrubbing your face which can be irritating to your oil glands. Use a mild antibacterial soap that is moisturizing. Sometimes dairy products makes this worse, so try going dairy free for a few weeks. Tea Tree oil can be effective. Dab a small amount using a cotton tipped swab on each lesion twice a day until they shrink.
