Brief Answer:
Rosaceae

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the photograph.
I can see there is lot of redness on your cheek and nose bridge.
Probably it's rosaceae.
I treat such cases with a topical anti-inflammatory agent like metronidazole cream and capsule doxycycline.
You can take this in consultation with your doctor.
Metronidazole cream is to be applied in night while in morning apply a good sunscreen.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
