Cheeks are red

Hi there,

I've noticed my cheeks have been a little red lately. I don't feel particuarly unwell. I'm quite self concious enough without this - any idea what it could be and how it heals? It's been like this for 4-5 days. I'm absoulely fine

Thanks

Re: Cheeks are red

Hi Alex,

I would recommend checking this out with your GP who should be able to advise.

One condition that causes a red face is called rosacea - however - this does not mean you necessarily have the condition.

If you want to read more about rosacea have a look here.

Hope that helps.

Best, Lisa
