KPRF(red cheeks)

KPRF(red cheeks)

I am 18 years old, healthy and I love to work out. I've had red cheeks ever since I was 11 years old. The redness fills up both my cheeks and i have a little bit of red in between my eyebrows and on my chin. I get red very easily, for example, cold weather, hot weather, and after working out or any physical activity. But its not only in those cases, sitting in a hot room, watching tv, on the computer, random times. When I don't get these flare ups my cheeks are still abnormally red. I went to the dermatologist and he said I have Keratosis Pilaris Rubra Faceii and this includes little red bumps on my arms but I can live with the bumps on the arms. Recently I started working for a tile company, cleaning tiles. They use this industrial cleaner, which is corrosive ( I don't know the exact name) i quit the job today because for a full day now my face is bumpy and it feels hot and REALLY red. My arms are full of the bumps and there red too. I am curious about what i should do about this flare up and also for the future, if there are any lazer treatments or solutions to distinguish this embarrassing skin disease. If you can help me it would be deeply appreciated. This is no exaggeration its hard living like this, so please help me get back to the things i want to be doing.Thanks.
