Help me identify my skin problem
Hi Doctor,
I'm using vitamin C serum for my dark smile lines. I use barrier relief moisturizer on my cheeks but my cheeks started to get tiny red ti skin color small pimples/bumps around open pores which is not acne, not painful but leaving spots on my face after some days. I have a fair skin tone and I dont use sunscreen. I searched online to know my issue I ruled out Keratosis Pilaris, skin cancer and not sure exact issue. Can someone tell me what my condition called and what are the possible treatments?

It is not possible to tell the differentials without a photograph.
My advice is to get in touch with a Dermatologist and avoid using OTC creams and serums after seeing advertisements
