[Skin Concerns] After quarantine,my face was filled with these tiny dots and it’s weird cause I used to have clear skin. I can’t identify them and don’t know if they can be extracted?! Please help by letting me know what to do to prevent them.

Looks like black heads from the picture you provided.

Congestion and Blackheads possibly? I would suggest alternating between a gentle cleanser and a salicylic acid cleanser(2-3x a week). Make sure that you are double cleansing at night. On the nights you cleanse with an acid cleanse with a gentle cleanser then second cleanse can be a salicylic or glycolic. Be sure you are using a hydrating toner, hydrating serum, and moisturizer so it doesn’t get overly dry. Use the salicylic at night preferably because it can make you more susceptible to sun damage. Wear SPF too.

Those should star to come to surface if they are blackheads, you can gently extract them with your fingers. Be gentle.

Make sure you are cleaning your pillow cases weekly.
