Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your query you have symptoms of rosacea on the face which is a common skin condition that causes redness in your face and often produces small, red, pus-filled bumps. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid trigger factors if you know what start it and protect yourself from sun exposure. You should wash your face with cold water and take over the counter anti histamine like Bendryl . You should not start medication after proper prescription. If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist once for proper examination. Doctor may order skin test and may prescribe steroid ointment along with antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

I find this answer helpful
