Does this look like rosacea?

Since I was pregnant with my daughter, I've had awful skin. My cheeks are constantly red, I have spots and marks which look like spots but which are completely flat.

I've sort of just hoped it would go away but it's getting worse! I can't leave the house without makeup as it really bothers me now.

I obviously need to speak to a GP but can anyone tell me if this looks like rosacea?

Looks like acne, have a look at Dermatica or Skin and Me

Could be, this was mine a year ago. Soolantra cleared it up in about 12 weeks.

Thank you both.

@queenoflouisiana was your skin dry and tight?

@whatthej3ff yes, a lot of the time it was ridiculously dry and so sore. I use a lot of moisturising products now, I’m on a maintenance dose of soolantra, and high levels of sunscreen.
Photo shows skin after 9 weeks of soolantra. I took a photo every week to see progress! There is an obvious awful point after 3 weeks, then steady improvement.

I’d say potentially. Mine is dry and tight with red lumps when it flairs up. Get oral antibiotics and it will clear up really quickly. This is a picture of mine when bad.
