Acute dermatitis. Use a topical steroid and oral antihistamine
Detailed Answer:
hello. thank you for writing to us.
I am Dr. kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and I have viewed the images.
Its an acute dermatitis like presentation, perhaps to some cream or cosmetic or bleach that you may have used on face.
I can see redness and multiple papules/ bumps on lower face, some of which look edematous/ fluid filled.
I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g tab. cetrizine or benadryl for itching. In addition I suggest you to use a mild topical steroid cream e g cortisone cream (hydrocortisone1%), twice daily. Cortisone is available OTC.
Use a gentle cleanser for face wash. Wash face no more than twice a day and apply cream after washing.
Regards

Yes but it might take some days.
By th way cortisone cream, cetrizine tab. / benadryl tab. are easily available OTC. Else you may use any soothing, drying lotion e.g calamine lotion. Calamine lotion is also available OTC.

Use the cream and tablet for 3-5 days
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
I think they should dry up/start resolving in 3-5 days. Don't pop them manually. If they don't improve or they worsen then you might need to see a doctor in person.
