I’ve had these red blotches since I was in elementary school (now in high school). I do have a bit of acne, but I cleanse my face twice everyday with Clean & Clear, and sometimes put moisturizer on. My skin is slightly oily, but it’s mostly on my nose and forehead. I wash my hair everyday, if that matters, and I try to change my pillowcase as often as I can. I also clip my bangs to the side when I sleep, but these red blotches seem to never go away. The only things I pop are whiteheads, which don’t show up frequently.
I heard rosacea could be it, but from what I’ve researched, I don’t think I actually have it. Whatever’s causing it, it only appears on my cheeks. I do love spicy foods, but I control myself. The last time I went to a dermatologist was when my forehead was breaking out. My parents asked him to check my face to see if I could prevent pimples, because everything below my forehead was pretty much flawless, besides the red veins. He never said anything about them.
Are there any products that could help minimize, or even diminish these red blotches on my face? School is starting soon, and I feel really insecure about them.
Here’s a picture of my cheek:

I am asian, if that matters. I read that caucasians were more likely to have rosacea, and that ethnicities can contribute a bit to skin types.
Please answer if you can, and thanks in advance
I apologize for such a long description.
e.g. clean & clear, clearasil, etc.
I kno that if you wash your face too much it can cause acne and if you dont wash it enough it will just git worse. is there a happy medium?
THANKYOU PPL$#*&!
~water
or
~soap & water
or anything else? HELP what do i use on my face and would keep me away from acne and things? and wouldn’t dry out my face?
I’m positive that it’s been working because i tried the clean&clear morning burst shine but it broke my skin out and the Noxzema calmed it down and some of the pimples disappeared. If you actually have had your skin cleared by Noxzema please tell me how long it takes for all of the acne to disappear or at least how long until I am able to see better results.
10 points for best answer
I have acne all over my chest, shoulders, sides, my entire back and halfway down my belly since I was about 2 months pregnant & Im currently 7 1/2 months. I Dont have pimples on my face except the normal one hea & there, Thank God. I feel so gross & dirty, I hate having these breakouts all over me, argh. I tried to use Dove Bar Soap, Dove Liquid Soap & Neutrogena Body Acne Wash in the shower but nothing seems to work. So, I was wondering how long after Delivery does it take to go away?! Anyone please? This is my 3rd pregnancy & never got it with my other 2, jus goes to show how different each pregnancy is, haha.
Thanks everyone!
does anybody know any good remedies for chest & back acne?
PLEASE HELP!!!!
…..as the lady at the chemist said that it was okay to use during pregnancy. Have used it once or twice a day for at least two weeks straight there-abouts and just thought I’d look it up on the internet now out of curiosity.
When I looked at the information for product, down the page it says: "Do not use during pregnancy & breastfeeding without medical advice."
Following is the link to the product for you to look at:
http://www.thexton.com.au/product/Tea__Tree__Daily__Face__Wash__For__Acne__with__Soothing__Chamomile__-__250ml
Do you guys think that I have anything to worry about since I have been using it for weeks straight!?
I ALWAYS check up on EVERY medication I have had to take even if my doctor/OBGYN tells me that it is okay to use in pregnancy. This time though I didn’t check as I had been recommended to use the wash as it was a good alternative while pregnant, and the ladies working at the chemist led me straight to it also and said that it was safe.
For your information also, the USUAL acne wash AND cream I use for acne I stopped using as soon as I was trying to get pregnant. It is NOT to be used during pregnancy.
So here I thought I was being safe and now I’m really worried.
Should I ring my OBGYN tomorrow and tell him all about this?
ARGH! I wish I had checked into this product properly!
Thanks for your help everybody X By the way I’m 29 Weeks 2 Days pregnant with #1
My cheeks are very pink/red (I’m always hot-just hot natured/been all my life) Even in December my cheeks were red because I was always hot. I don’t have acne, in fact everyone says I have such beautiful & clear skin. I blush easily. How can I get rid of this? I really don’t think its rosacea but I’m not sure what it is…please help!
around my mouth is especially dark. & i have tons of acne scars on my face.
i’m using that new clean and clear morning burst face wash and it burns my face & i brake out every time i use it.
i am so frustrated if i could i would scrape the skin on my face off. i am so desperate. please give me advice on what i can do or what face wash systems or brands are the best for my face.
thanks<3
