A member asked:

I always have redness around my nose. sometimes pimples or dryness. i often feel itchy in the area. what can i do?

Rosacea?: If there is redness extending to your cheeks, it may be a special condition. See a dermatologist to get more information and treatment options. Until then, make sure you aren't cleaning your face too aggressively- use gentle soap and don't scrub too much.
