I currently have this shiney, elevated, scaley, red rash on my cheeks and white swelling onthe bridge of my nose. It is not itchy, and has a shiney appearance to it.
I am 19 years old, male and always have this reaction when i use acne products and/or harsh face cleaners for my oily skin. I never went red before using skin cosmetics and such, and when i stop using cosmetics, my face gets less and less red, goes back to normal. My face gets red immediately after applying these creams and such, especially on my cheeks and nose, sometimes a bit on my forehead and chin, but my forehead and chin return to normal much faster than my cheeks and nose.
Do you think i can have rosacea or just irritated skin? Niether my mom, dad, or brother have rosacea? And does rosacea get better when you stop using cosmetics?

It is probably a sensitivity to the ingredients in your soap and your acne products. Try using a gentler face soap, like nutrogena or dove. and stay away from harsh chemicals.
try using a tea bag to treat your zits, like Chammomile Tea (good to drink it hot with honey and healthy too.) If it doesn’t get better, then see a dermatologist and have it checked.

“It can be difficult to distinguish acne vulgaris, seborrheic eczema, perioral dermatitis and lupus erythematosus from rosacea.” [1]
The number of rosacea mimics is staggering, so I suggest you see a dermatologist who can give you a physical exam and take a history to determine what might be your problem. [2]
Diagnosing a skin condition over the internet isn’t the best way to get a diagnosis and is actually not a good idea. The best way is to see your dermatologist
