Why do I have sores all over my face?

Answer by  Sylvia (759)

They could be cold sores or rosacea accompanied by acne, both can be treated with antibiotics. Another cause could be hair follicle infections or eczema. The use of meth can also contribute to face sores as can herpes, warts, shingles and chickenpox. They could also be caused by more serious conditions such as diabetes, Lyme disease or AIDS.

The sores could be harmless from freckles to moles. They could be as a result of bug bites, psoriasis, or cystic acne.

An infection which is either generalized or localized to your face is one possible answer. You may sleep with bed bugs or mites, which too may be a cause.

You don't give a description, but I think the usual suspect of this would be the herpes simplex virus. Two types of herpes are manifested through cold sores on the lip or mouth and have been known to develop on the facial skin as well. Regardless, I would see a doctor immediately.
