Acne/rashes?

I have always had pretty healthy skin and have never had any problems with acne or suchlike, but recently I got...well, I wouldn't call it acne, it's more like small small rashes that are located mostly on my cheeks but also some on my forehead. They don't itch and aren't really red. When I run my hand over my cheeks it feels a bit like fine sandpaper and it makes the skin look tired and a bit oldish.

I have pretty dry skin but when I try to use face creams (even without perfume) it seems to make the problem worse rather than better.

Not sure what the cause to this is, or how to treat it.

It sounds more like contact dermatitis. There are a lot of contact allergens in conventional soaps, shampoos, lotions and creams. Most of the contact allergens are related to the petroleum by-products used as the base for the products.

Try the mask on my profile. It's just a simple honey, oat and oil mask that should take care of the dry skin right away. And the oats will help to calm the inflammation it that is contact dermatitis from one of the products you use. Just click my picture to get to my profile...

Go to a dermatologist.
