I put this down to hormonal acne but now wondering if it could be rosacea? I had my son a year ago so thought it was maybe hormonal. It's red and a bit dry will small whiteheads. Sometimes is less spotty and red but is always there in some capacity! In my 30s and didn't suffer from acne as a teen or anything

I’m no expert but would say rosacea especially give the age you’ve seen it appear, no previous teen acne and where it is (cheeks mainly).

If you have the money, I would see a dermatologist, if not, see the GP.

It's mostly on one cheek and a little around the mouth/chin none really on the other cheek though bizarrely
