Skin problem on face

Hello, I am reaching out as I am desperate for some help and advice regarding the current situation with my face. I am 20 years old, female and from my early teen years my face has suffered badly and it's only getting worse.

The centre of my face, around the sides of my nose and also between my brows is patchy and flares red. In addition to this, I have spots that appear around the area mentioned above, also on my nose, around my mouth and chin area. I squeeze the white heads which then turn into angry scabs.

I have been told by a lot of people that I am pretty but this current problem is getting me down so much. I also have a baby and going to playgroups makes my anxiety rocket due to feeling conscious about how bad my face is compared to all the other mothers'. I rarely go out anywhere because of the problem.

I don't know what the root cause of this and why it's happening. I am desperate for some help.

I would also like to add that I eat moderately, including dairy, meat, vegetables etc. I am of tall and slim build.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for reading.

J.
