What Do Red Color Spots On Cheek Indicate?

Hi, I developed one, and then another and now about five spots on my cheek for the past couple months. They look exactly like sun poisoning spots that are small, flat, and a light red tint color. However, unlike sunpoisoning, they have only multiplied, and not gone away. I was wondering at first if they were my skin having a reaction to the sun lotion because of in the sun, however, ive stopped using the sun lotion for a few weeks now, and the spots continue to multiply. I put antibacterial cream on one of them, but it had no effect. i was wondering if it was a fungus? i snuggle my puppies. Also, my pups have been exposed to pesticides, but i usually wipe them down after they come in, and their exposure has been longer twrm than since I got the spots, as in years. (longer term) Also, my skin is very light, and has little oils. So, Ive been putting lotion on it for 30 yrs now to help with that. Please help!! Thanks!
