Redness in the face?

I dont always have this, but lately Ive been feeling warm and getting red in the face- when I touch my cheeks and forehead, I feel hot and those areas look pink. I know my blood pressure and sugar levels are normal. My cholesterol wasnt bad but my triglycerides were high b/c I took accutane (Ive been off of it for about 2 1/2 wks)- can u give me a clue as to what this may be?? I feel like it may be sugar related but I have no clue- this is hapenening every day and for the past 3 days Ive been taking tylenol (b/c my face feels feverish)- I even was developing a blister on my lips(in a matter of mins) and I took tylenol and overnight it went away. This just happens and I noticed it happened during eating- could it be allergy related? help!

Redness in the face?
Could be allergy-related, or dry skin. Use lotion daily, watch your salt intake and drink lots of water. I get this too sometimes.
Reply:I don't mean this answer to be flippant but my personal experience of redness in my face and feeling warm was when I used to have to have social lunches with my Director .I didn't like drinking beer, especially the volume so to drink sherry. I always felt warm and flush after these sessions and it was only when a female colleague said the sherry might be the problem it eased off.


It was sherry for me ,for you it could be other spirits or if you don't drink it could be eating hot foods like curry or peppered food


Changing your eating/drinking habits, item by item may identify the cause. Good luck.

Reply:well sometimes people have a naturalley red face, like me.but some of the main reasons people have a red face is because they smile too much, laugh a lot, when they are warm, or sometimes maybe because they wash their face a lot. but as for me it is natural and i do wash my face too much and i smile a lot.. if it is red all the time, like fire red or like blister red then i would go see a docter. cause although like i said my face was naturally red, i still notice that my face isn't red all the time.
Reply:You mentioned that you felt warm. Did you check your temp? That would tell us a lot.





P.S. No, it's Rosacea. So did you have acne on your face or chest and back?
Reply:I can be rosesea pronounced (Rose -se-shia). I have it and it usually covers the cheeks, forehead and around the nose. People often ask me if I've been running or if I'm well because even though I'm dark skinned it really shows up. Your best bet is to see a dermatologist to help you get it under control or it does get worse. With me it was a prelude to psoriasis.
