Unknown red dots on my skin

[Siriously]

Hi! I have pretty good skin overall, with light acne (1-2 pimples per month max) but there are these red dots on my cheek that have been there my whole life, that I can’t figure out how to get rid of. I do have freckles and rosier cheeks so maybe that’s it, but I want to get rid of them. Any tips?

do they hurt when you touch them?

No not at all, only thing is I can kinda feel them if that makes sense

It maybe be birthmarks

You could try tretinoin if its not a birthmark

Could also hypertrophic scars ( acne scar ) ( fixed with tretnoin )

see a dermatologist to get tret or you could get adapalene over the counter

No not rlly, it’s on like my upper cheek by my cheek bone kinda, tbh my best guess would be its like a reddened continuation of the freckles on my nose.
