Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tender and red spots on face which could be due to allergic reactions to substances causing irritation of the skin, excessive exposure to sunlight, contact dermatitis, such as when you come in contact with poison ivy or cold sores, dermatitis, or eczema. Need not worry. I would suggest you to apply cold compresses on them, take antihistamine like Ben Chat Doctor.  You can apply combination of topical Darlene + nadifloxacin gel at night. If condition doesn't get better than consult dermatologist for proper examination and rule out cause like chicken pox and bulbous pemphigoid. Doctor may prescribe corticosteroid or antibiotics course. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
