I dont have breakouts...or scars, or anything else like that, but what realy gets me down is that my cheeks are always bright red. not like a rosy glow, BRIGHT RED. Its alright along my cheekbone, but at the bottom near my jawline i get these ugly red patches. I have to cover it up with makeup, but I HATE wearing makeup. It always looks soo cakey! My skin is often very rough in those areas too. It gets me down so bad. I hate wearing my hair up. I know that if it ever went away my confidence would boost sky-high and I would be SOOO much more confident. The first thing I want to change about myself is my red cheeks! Does any one know how to make it go away! In the winter I dont even wanna hang outside because the cold weather makes it ten times worse. What can i do! please me, or if anyone has a similar problem please reply.

Sweety, Its actually called Rosaisa, i think thats how its called. You can be treated for it. you should see a dermatoligist about it!

Jessy, Dont listen to Amanda, she doesn't know what she is talkin about. I have the same thing.My arms are red too and I have red bumps on my legs. Its hereditary. Its called Keratosis Pilaris or KP. It gets worse in different types of weather or when exercising. There are tons of treatments on the web. I hope this s you cuz its it used to torment me. I even went to the doctor and they had no idea what the hell it was. They told me to learn to live with it. Yeah right, like thats gonna happen! I think it goes away with some people when they get older. Not for me though cuz my dad is 46 and he still has it. Well I hope this s. LaLaLaura

i have the same exact thing, like my skin is perfect but like you said, it's like speckeled red along my jaw line, and i can't cover it because it is so hard for me to find cover up that looks natural and that doesn't make me look like a clown ( ). i do not think it is hereditary for me though because no one on both sides of my family has this. If you find out a good way to this post it please.

I think you need to go talk to a dermatologist because this appears to me as if it were a dermatological condition rather than a plain skin rash.
