Is This Rosacea?

I never had problems with facial redness or acne until about a year ago. My nose and cheeks are constantly pink or red, especially my nose, which is my main problem. My nose is constantly oily with huge pores that are filled with whiteheads and blackheads. There are usually no pimples on my nose. My cheeks have tiny pink bumps on them that are not pimples. There are pink spots on my cheeks that seem to be under the skin, but some spots are slightly raised.

 

I have tried tea tree oil diluted with water to treat the redness on my nose, and it worked for about a week and then stopped working. I rarely wear makeup and I exercise regularly. For some reason, the redness on my face always decreases dramatically after I exercise.

 

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I think you should definitely see a doctor/dermatologist about it. It does sound something like rosacea.

 

(and I know it might sound weird, but I think the red nose is kinda cute!)
