Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX

Thanks for consulting Healthcaremagic .
This is Dr. Priyanka tiwari answering your query.

I have read your query and gone through the image you have attached . As far as I have observed that yellowish dots on cheeks that you are concerned is nothing but Fordyces granules . Fordyces spots are nothing but normal variations of sebaceous glands (glands that normaly producing sebum) . Sometimes sebaceous spots cause anxiety but they are completly harmless.
Fordyces spots do not require any treatment . Avoid picking or squeezing of spots . For mild irritation you can take Vitamin B complex with folic acid .

Hope I have answered your query .
If you have further query I will be happy to help.
