HiConrad,
Thanks for writing in.
The condition you are suffering from can be acne rosacea or contact dermatitis. etc.
Chances of rosacea are more.Rosacea is treatable with drugs.It is a chronic but treatable condition.
Consider visiting your GP or dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
You can apply Hydrocortisone cream over the area till you visit a doctor.
Hope this helps.
