Acne? Herpes On Face? Only Time Wishing It Was Acne

The past few years I've been getting several pimples on my face about a week before my period. Though I absolutely hated how my skin looked, I eventually got used to seeing it. However just a few days ago when I was expecting my period to begin again, I noticed that I developed these clusters of tiny, itchy, liquid-filled bumps on the side of my nose. I freaked out as I had never experienced these type of acne (?) before so I did a little research online...The symptoms that I had were similar to the symptoms of type 1 herpes and now I'm freaking out even more. I'm still hoping that they are just acne since the bumps are not on my lip and I haven't kissed anyone recently. I'm thinking about seeing a doctor but I wouldn't want to do it if it was just normal acne. What do you guys think? Acne or herpes? :(

It's acne most likely, but if it doesn't subside you should go see a dermatologist who can identify what type of acne it is. It could also be welts from an allergic reaction.

Liquid filled and distinct from other acne youve had - could very well be herpes. It is wildly common. More so than people realize. Dont just take the word of random people on the internet- see a doctor thenext time you have a similar outbreak and get a swab test. You maybe able to get on something that will suppress future outbreaks and save you a lot of discomfort.
