A fly laid its eggs in the body. The eggs hatched into maggots. That's what a maggot is - the larval form of a fly. It is probably one of a few species of insects that have a stinger-like abdomen, called an ovipositor, that digs down through the skin and lays the eggs under the skin. In this case, the larvae feed on the flesh of the host and eat their way to the surface of the skin. It's quite disgusting, really, especially when seen on a human face.
