Hi, it seems that you are having rosacea...
Rosacea is a very common skin disease that affects people over the age of 30. It causes redness on your nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead. Some people get little bumps and pimples on the red parts of their faces. Rosacea can also cause burning and soreness in your eyes.
Things that cause a flare-up are called triggers. Common triggers are exercise, sun and wind exposure, hot weather, stress, spicy foods, alcohol, and hot baths.
There is no cure, but with treatment, most people can control their symptoms and keep the disease from getting worse....
-Pills, such as low-dose antibiotics like doxycycline.
-Skin creams that contain medicine, such as azelaic acid or metronizadole.
Still, you consult dermatologist for perfect diagnosis and treatment.. Ok
