    Red spots
    So I usually deal with acne. Most of the time, the pimples pop or do whatever and heal. I have had 10-13 little dots on the right side of my cheek for about a year now. At first it wasn't really apparent, and it was like 4 small red marks. Now they're all 3d (like they stick out) and there are usually 10-13. I count them every day. Today there's 11. I've tried to find out what triggers them getting bigger and smaller, but they're always there. I don't do anything different. I just hate having to look at them and hate when people are on the right side of my face. I just wish they all would come to a head and POP! It's so unbelievably frustrating! I'm the maid of honor of a wedding in June and she wants our hair to be up, which means they'll be really visible. I hate wearing foundation. I want my face to be able to be makeup free and look healthy. One more thing. One of the red marks recently got really small and not it's a really small red mark with black in the middle. I know that might be a blackhead, but is that what it was all along, or did the large red dot turn into a blackhead. I acutally have never had a blackhead I'm just assuming it is since there's a black mark in it. Thanks for reading this and if you have any suggestions, please do share!

    Well, I would have, since this is such an annoying problem, I just really don't have the time right now, and it's money I don't feel is worth spending. I just wanted to know if anyone had this problem or had a tip to get rid of it. If it gets serious, I'll bite the bullit and go to a doctor, but right now, it's just time I don't have. Thank you for the reply though! :)

    From your description, it sounds like blackheads or papules. This is triggered because the pores are partially blocked allowing the dead skin cells, bacteria and oils to slowly emerge to the skin surface. Your case seems a little severe and if you want your skin to clear up by June, you should consider seeing a dermatologist. The dermatologist will examine your face and decide which treatments are best for you.
