Asked By:Panzer0000 in Dallas, TX

This condition is a smooth redness on both cheeks. I blush easy and have very minimal amount of facial hair. It can feel very warm to the touch. There is not any bumps like the ones on the back of my arms. I believe this to be Keratosis Pilaris Rubra Facei. I’m currently using minoxidil 5% 2x a day to help grow facial hair and I’m worried facial hair won’t even come through and if it does it might make my condition worse. Should I continue the minox? I don't want to make my condition worse.
