It's still possible it's Feline acne. Did she have the sores before you replaced the bowls. Are you cleaning the sores daily with a gentle cleanser? Often Feline Acne will go away on tt's own, but depending on how bad it is, sometimes it requires an antibiotic, IF that's even what it is. It's possible these are insect bites. Or could also be caused by a reaction to her food.

Cat acne maybe? Are they sores or little bits of black stuff? Both could be acne. Try using baby wipes to gently wipe it off. Also, I would make sure she isn't drinking out of anything else.
