Why are there red itchy spots on my face?

Yesterday, i woke up with these red dots on my face. i am a teen and have acne once in a while, like on my forehead, but its not that bad. these spots are on my cheeks, near my nose, a place where i never get acne. i dont think they are pimples, but they are red and kind of sensitive to touch and they itch a little bit. i put pimple cream on them but that didnt work. i dont know why i have them but they are making me self conscious. does anyone know what they are and how to get rid of them? Thanks!
