Hi all does any one suffer with these red dots on face back neck etc... I was wondering if anyone had any tips on covering them for men? Or even better getting rid of them all together I have had laser treatment but unfortunately it hasn't worked for me they left me with a white mark but then came back I am of a brown complexion so made it even more obvious 😫 Would be greatful for any other alternatives

Thank u

Hi Kc yep I have the red dots too. Mostly on my face. Summer is a bit easier with a bit of colour to blend in, I use a light covering of foundation too but don't like anything heavy. I hadn't considered laser treatment so was interested to read your post. I wonder if anyone else has any tips?

All the best, Lindyanne

I have them. Magic minerals powder covers them really well for me

What is Magic Minerals powder, please, and where can it be bought?

It's a light powder. I get it from wilkos it's by jml. It's really light. I don't use make up normally but if I want to cover them up that's what I use. I think jml have a website to get it direct.

This is called Telangiectasia. I have them on my face but apparently if you've got them there you have more than likely got them in your gut as well. I have no solution to covering them up though.

I've had them for years, face and hands, I'm female but don't wear any make up so they are just part of me!

I went to the make-up counter at Boots, and the lady there found a make-up cover stick to match my skin tone, so I don't have to cover all my skin with foundation. I am very fair skinned, but it works surprisingly well.

I hope you find something that works for you. M

I swear by the Vichy Dermablend range (Boots stock it). While I wouldn't wear it round the house (as if!), it definitely does the job when you want to look your best.

Veil cover cream. It's available over the internet and they do a neat sample pack which means you can blend colours and see which is best for you.

Try Rimmel concealer sticks. Quite a few different shades, and they stay on quite well.

I have them too I use younique make up and mineral magic (jml make up) which covers it nicely! I have many male friends that use younique make up and covers there imperfections x

I have had a face full of them for years, I use Cover Girl Outlast foundation, it is a foundation and powder in one. They make it in light to very dark. Works well.

I too have them, and yes, 1 on the end of my nose, so embarrassing. I,ve also got plenty of them in my mouth and throat, not much I can do about those though πŸ˜‚, don't think concealer would work there. But as already surgested, mineral powder by jml works wonders.

Dermablend makeup works well; I buy it online at Ulta. It is pricey, but works well.

Thanks this is so difficult as it's for a man he doesn't want anything that looks like make up 😫😫😫 what do I do

There are excellent products made for camouflaging scars such as Dermablend. They are intended to be for guys too and are virtually invisible when skillfully applied. Some trial and error/practice should be anticipated. The laser treatments may also be worth it in his case, but will need to be repeated at intervals. Best of luck!
