Can High BP And Cholesterol Be Related To Redness And Lumps On Skin?

I have these two lumps that are under the skin at the top of both my cheeks/eye socket area (in the middle). They're not painful but are slightly red, that said however, I do get redness in that area due to broken capillaries on my cheeks, so it could be from that. You can't really see them, they're not liked raised bumps that are evident on my face, you can just sort of see them when I push at either side of them and they sort of puff up like little peas under the skin, but they're more fleshy/`squidgy`, not hard. I am 43, just under 5,4", about 10 and a half stone and I have high blood pressure and cholesterol levels/heart disease and cancer run in my family. Any theories? Something to do with swollen lymph nodes, are they in that area?
