Are you on any medications that might cause this? Check here for an article on that.

Otherwise, have you been using any new product, particularly a new sunscreen (they can be super comedogenic)?

And lastly, have you been irritating your skin, such as scrubbing with a washcloth or anything else? If you super irritate like that, overwash, scrub hard, etc. it can cause this type of thing.

And lastly lastly, just thought of one more...did you start on a new makeup anytime in the last 3 months? Sometimes comedones can come "out of the blue" but it's makeup that's finally causing it after a few months of use.
