What Causes Red Bumps On Cheeks?
i am a 36 year old female. two weeks ago I noticed that I had a rash of small red bumps on my cheeks. I thought it was a new hair product I was using that possibly had gotten on my pillows. I've washed all my sheets and it seems to go away then i feel tingling and itching and they are back.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern.
As per your query you have symptoms of red bumps on cheeks which is mainly by mild irritation or allergic reaction by cosmetic products mainly. As you have used new hair product, you noticed the red bumps after using a new hair product such as soap or conditioner, discontinue use and see if the bumps go away.
I would suggest you not to worry about anything. Visit dermatologist once and start with use of antibiotics such as Azithromycin , topical medications such as topical steroids and glycolic peels or you can go with combination of these as well. Antihistamines can also be started if its because of allergic reaction.
Wash your face with plain water at least after every 2-3 hrs. Take multivitamin supplement.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
