Rashes On The Cheeks. Need A Remedy

For the last 6 months or so I have been having a small rash/cluster of spots on my cheek. I can't seem to get rid of it , it seems to go then flares up again. I have stopped using any cleanser and I put eumocream on sparingly. I don't think it is life threatening but it is bugging me...I'm getting married in August. I am a 45 year old female and usually I have a very clear pale complexion.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,

It seems you have developed comedones.

These are precursor of acne.

Usually asymptomatic but inflammatory one can be symptomatic.

Treatment with topical retinoids will be beneficial.

Please meet a dermatologist.
