Rash/spots suddenly appeared on face

I have awoken this morning to a large number of small red lumps on my jaw line next to either side of my mouth. It had started to come up yesterday evening, so I have taken some antihistamines.
I have a spot about once a year. I have what looks like a gnat/other insect bite on my nose and some on my neck. It feels sore and hot if that makes sense.
I have taken some more meds and placed lots of make up over, but you can still see the lumps.
Has anyone had any experience/ideas of this? Would acne start like this? I am mid 40's?
Help.

Spots in that area are usually hormonal OP and given your age I'd bet that's what it is. I sometimes get spots in that area too when my period is due. Going on HRT helps a lot.

can you post a pic? Google perioral dermatitis which will need treatment with ABs (cream or of that fails oral medication). Mine started suddenly over a few days like that. but difficult to say without pic.

This is with make up on. It feels hot still?

Sore and Hot could be infection, it’s best to see the dr.
