My face continues to break out in red soar like spots with off white centers. Any suggestions? (photos)

only on cheeks. On sides of chin and recently near my lips. This comes and goes. What does this sound like? Allergy? These red dots sometimes contain an off white spot that is soft and will push out easily. The whole mess will crust over and it looks like the skin is thicker in spots. When red, it's tender, sometimes itchy, and the off white spots push out. Seems to spread if I mess with them. Crusting over will peal. Then, it eventually heals. Off and on, randomly.

I suggest you see dermstolgist to evaluate if you are having allergic reaction to any products. It is safe at this point to use a topical steroid for inflammation. Aloe Vera topically can also be hlepful at this stage.
