Hello Stormy

 

I would strongly recommend that you make an appointment with a dermatologist.  I am researching your question and The American Academy of Dermatology warns that if you have a sudden development of many SKs this may indicate a serious health problem.

 

To get rid of these the literature talks about Cryosurgery, electrosurgery, and curettage.

 

Please do make an appointment with your doctor to make sure of what is causing this sudden explosion of facial SKs.

 

Thank you for your question.
