What Causes Red Rash On The Cheek?

hi, there has been a red area on my face on my cheek bone. It is kinda big but not as bad. It does not give me any pain what so ever, it sometimes goes brown but it s mostly is red. I do have acne but this does not feel like a pimple what so ever. Its been on my cheek for about a week? I am starting to feel a little faded bump forming. I ve tried to pop it to see if it was a zit but nothing came out. It feels like it is inside my skin where the bump is slowly forming. I don t know what it is or what caused this to happen, I am not to sure if it is it a boil...

i Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red rash on the cheek which is due to clogged pores of skin with dead skin, stress, hormonal disturbances and due to underlying systemic conditions. I would suggest you to avoid taking spicy and fried substances. You should drink plenty of water. Wash face with clindamycin gel. The symptoms can also occur due to allergic reaction from cosmetic products , contact dermatitis or eczema. Avoid use of any steroids on face. Apply cream rich in kojic acid. Apply aloe vera gel on face and take anti histamine like benadryl. Drink green tea daily it will purify skin and detoxify it. Visit dermatologist once and get it examined. You can go for microabrasion and chemical peeling. Doctor may also prescribe retinoids , corticosteroid cream or vitamin supplement .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
