Teen with rosy cheeks - Help

So I'm 14, and I have very rosy cheeks compared to most people. People used to tell me how rosy my cheeks were when I was younger, and still do just not as much. I'm very self-conscious about it and usually cover them with my hands in class.
I've been to my doc and brought it up to see if there's anything I can do. He said "some people just have rosy cheeks" and it's not rosacea.
Any advice or Help?

(this coming from a pale teen here, don't be insecure💟)

Thank you so much! I just as jealous with your even skin tone. The amount of teasing I've gotten would make anyone dislike having red cheeks.

society teases you and judges you no matter what. if you're black, white, red, brown, pale, hairy or whatever. I'm called 'yellow ' and 'sick' many times because I'm desi but not exactly brown. so just don't pay heed to what they say. people go out of their way to use blush and I have to increase the saturation in my pictures😂, so its totally fine.

I know people do it to get under my skin, but it's also something I just don't like. Blushing/red cheeks feels like a feminine thing, and being a dude just makes it look weird. I hope to grow out of it
I have this too. I remember being called apple-cheeks when I was younger because of red my cheeks are. Having healthy skin and fair skin does that to a lot of people, and some people are predisposed to having rosy cheeks. It doesn't look bad at all, it'll probably fade with age, but if it doesn't, girls love a guy who has rosy red cheeks.

Really? One of my friends said it makes me look shy, and people have joked that I'd be perfect to play an elf. Not trying to put down what you're saying, but personally, I haven't seen anyone find it necessarily attractive.
Thanks though!

1.

I have them too. 😊

2.

I think they actually look quite cute. 🤭 Especially on boys.

3.

If you do find it embarrassing, there are some colour correctors you can buy. Some are "makeup" correctors, some are actual skincare creams that reduce redness and calm the skin down a bit. I'll have a look to find the actual brands...

I doubt it'll just fade, since the fair skin and red cheeks are prevalent on my mother's side. Looking forward to constantly being asked why I'm blushing.

Lol funny thing is girls will hide their natural cheek colour with makeup and then paint it back on again.

People who make fun of of things like rosy cheeks are just weird imo.

Yeah, my sister does that. She has pinkish cheeks and has the audacity to put more blush on it
Colour corrector? If you're ok with wearing make-up
Rosy cheeks are actually nice. And a lot of people think so too :smile:

Doesn't have to be makeup. There is skincare that can help reduce inflammation or redness.

Lol love the use of "audacity" 😂
Cicapair for example. Expensive at £15 I suppose but it's apparently a good treatment for redness.

My best friend is just like you! He has such rosy cheeks all the time, I swear he uses blush. I know a ton of people who'd love to be with a guy whose has rosy cheeks like yours. It looks very healthy and adorable
