Answer 1

You need to see a dermatologist, not your family doc about this. Sounds like acne rosacea. Check out this site:

If your family doc is not taking something that is obviously bothering you seriously, then you need to MOVE ON. Who is h/she to fluff this off like it isn't important?? Obviously, it IS important to you and that's what counts. See someone who is trained and educated in skin problems. Make an appointment with a dermatologist. He/she WILL help.

Answer 2
