I don’t know what these are and what to do :(

I’ve had these tiny closed comedones on my face for months that just won’t go away, and there are these red bumps only on my cheeks. I don’t get pimples. What are these, and how can I get rid of them? Pls help, I just want smooth skin 😭

I’m not sure if my skin is overall dry, but it’s definitely dehydrated—no matter what cream I apply, it gets matte right away and dries out as if I hadn’t put anything on. I have Dr. Althea 345 (doesn’t hydrate) and Aestura Barrier Cream. I was thinking of getting the gentle COSRX Blackhead BHA for the comedons, but I don’t know if it’ll work, and I don’t even know what those red bumps are. I talked too much again sorry but i’m fed up with my skin 😪
