A member asked:
I have a small patch of bumpy skin on my face. the bumps are not red, nor do they itch or hurt. is this just dry skin? or maybe acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Facial lesions: Bumps on the face could be multiple things. Acne will turn red eventually. Eczema (associated with dry skin) can result in bumps that may or may not itch. A fungal infection would gradually spread and may not itch. If the bumps have a small central pit it could be a benign infection called Molluscum that resolves over time. Using steroids like hydrocortisone will worsen a fungal infection.
