greenday's got an idea, it could be eczema, or it's possible that it could be psoriasis. you can find more information about it here:

don't try putting a bunch of creams and stuff on it, that will irritate it and make it worse.
there's a good website for home remedies for lots of things, including exzema and psoriasis. do some research there:

other than that, don't touch your cheek if you help it, especially with dirty hands. if you wash your face at night (which you probably usually should), only use room temperature water and a maybe a light non-abrasive cleanser, but i recommend maybe getting cleanser with tea (probably green) or oatmeal as the main ingredient. or if you're feeling up to it, make some plain oatmeal and put a thin layer on your face (wash it off after no more than 5 minutes), or get some green tea bags and soak them with lukewarm water and lay them on your face for about 5 minutes.
hope this helped. remember, we're not doctors here, so if gets redder or more painful go see an actual doctor. good luck!

Okay, before I give any suggestions I am NOT a doctor. You should really get this checked out if it persists.
It could be Fifth Disease:

It's NOT a disease because I've had it. Just read some of the pages on this search result.
Or It could be Eczema:

Read some information on this and see if yours is any like these. Go to the doctor if it is or is not.

We're not doctors, and even if any of us were, we can't see you to make a diagnosis. So no one here can tell you what the problem is.
What I CAN do is give you a link to more information about Slapped Cheek Syndrome (aka "Fifth Disease"), and urge you to call your doctor. The rash you're describing sounds like something that needs medical attention. And it's always better not to take a chance.

Good luck!
