Weird bumps & red marks

I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I've got a few questions. Usually they're really unnoticable, but on the skin by my nose (kinda next to the nostrils) I have like a *bunch* of tiny dots. I don't think it's like whiteheads, but does anyone know what they are? Even though I've asked people if they can notice them (I'm weird like that) and they say "no," I really hate them. Is there any way to get rid of them?

Also, although not always, my cheeks have really annoying red marks. They make me almost look older than I am, and a lot of people sometimes think I'm blushing when I'm not. I've been using Neutrogena On-the-Spot Blemish wand, but it sometimes can be really obvious.

Anyone got any tips on how to make these less visible (they're definitely not me blushing) or how to get rid of them? Lol, it'd be appreciated if I got some responses. I've been cruising boards like this for a while and this is my first time actually posting.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Ineversinned,

Well, I'm no Dr, but it sounds similar to symptoms of rosacea. Have a look at http://www.rosacea.org/ and see if it sounds/looks the same. Ultimately you should go see a dermatologist though and get a medical opinion as to what may be causing the symptoms.

If it is rosacea then there are a number of product lines that traget that specific condition, Pevonia Botanica is quite famous for their rosacea line.
