What Causes Red Dry Spot On The Cheek?
Hi Doctor, So I have this red dry spot on my lower cheek that appeared overnight and won t go away since months now. It is itchy sometimes but not in a severe way. When i put on foundation it becomes very dry. Sometimes it turns extremly red especially when im exercising or stressing. I asked my doctor he told me it s just an infection that happens under the skin nothing serious.
