Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph though it's not very clear.
These sores can be due to some drug reaction or insect bite or allergic reaction.
It I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply steroid antibiotic combination like cortisone and neosporin on these for few days to make them settle.
If they don't show satisfactory improvement consult a doctor and go for clinical evaluation.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
