I normally have clear skin(face) and over the past couple weeks have woken up to new breakouts almost daily. I have never had acne in my life (I'm 29) and I don't know how to even treat this condition or why it's even happening. I wash my face and tone and moisturize daily(exfoliate couple times during the week) the bumps are red and big but don't hurt and they are in various places on my face. It's almost as if it's not acne but something else because I even have a bump with a white spot in my lower lip and it doesn't hurt at all either. Help me please!?!

Hi there
Since this outbreak is sudden I would wonder if you have been using any new skin care products, soaps, lotions, etc. Is there any chance you have some sort of virus? Are the bumps appearing anywhere else on your body?
There are different types of acne. This acne site describes the different types of acne and also has photos so you can see if any of these match your condition.
What you are describing could be anything and cannot be diagnosed over the Internet.
I strongly suggest that you see a doctor or a dermatologist to get this checked out.
Thank you for your question.
