red spot on cheek

hi all, i have a red spot on my lower cheek that has been there for about 8 weeks now. I can't figure out what it is.. It's the only one I have and it just turned up one morning. It's pretty much circle shaped and slightly raised (can only tell when putting cream or make-up over it). Slightly drier than the rest of my skin.. I have tried putting anti-fungal cream on it but has not responded to it at all.. it's about 0.5cm in size and does not itch at all. it's really annoying me..I have rosacea like symptoms, (easy flushing, blood vessels showing etc) but have not had it diagnosed.. could the red dot be related? i have attached a photo but not sure if you can tell.. it's definitely not a pimple

May be tinea versicolor(fungal) or a sun-reaction(lentigo).

Hello,
This red spot can be due to rosacea or dermatitis. Avoiding caffeine, spicy foods, and alcohol, also may help clear the skin. If the symptoms persist then please consult a dermatologist. Also use of antibiotic creams, antihistaminics, sun screens helps but consultation of a dermatologist is required first.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
