Answer 1

maybe your getting hot flashes...menopausal flashes...it depends on how old you are...this can start as early as your 20's, go see your doc and ask about it...it may just be that you have a hormone imbalance....i am in my early 40's now and i began to hot flash in my early 30's, when i get a hot flash i joke about it and say i am having a tropical moment....lol... my doc said it was the first stages of the menopause, i do take HRT now and i have never felt better....it does not mean i am getting old....all the females in my family went through exactly the same thing as me when they were at a young age....but we are all healthy...and happy and we can all get on with our daily stuff without a hitch....does wonders for the sex life too, wink wink....lol.....HRT helps

Answer 2

Sounds like Rosacea, Have a look at this :

Introduction

Rosacea is a common inflammatory condition of the skin of the face that causes redness that looks like a flush or blush. It is initially characterised by outbreaks and periods of improvement. Rosacea is sometimes called acne rosacea, which is misleading because rosacea and acne are two totally different conditions, although they can appear together.

Rosacea often progresses from intermittent to persistent facial redness with pimples without blackheads and telangiectasia (red lines where the tiny blood vessels of the cheeks, nose, chin and forehead become quite prominent).

Rosacea occurs in both men and women and, and although it may occur at any age, onset usually begins after the age of 30.

People with rosacea often find that certain lifestyle and environmental factors trigger a flare-up or aggravate their individual conditions. Common triggers include certain foods (especially hot or spicy foods) and drink, (especially alcohol and caffeine), exercise, temperature changes, exposure to the sun, rain or wind, and stress.

Rosacea responds to treatment but cannot be cured. Left untreated, the redness becomes more permanent and the tiny blood vessels may become more visible. Pimples often develop and in a few people, especially older men, the nose may become bumpy, red and swollen (Rhinophyma).

Symptoms

Rosacea causes erythema (redness) that looks like flushing or blushing of the face or neck. The flushing occurs when blood flow increases the amount of blood flow through small blood vessels and the vessels expand to accommodate this flow. The redness initially may come and go but becomes more permanent as the disease progresses.
Telangiectasia (red lines) - Many people also have enlarged blood vessels under the skin, which are noticeable as red lines through the skin, especially when the overall redness fades.
Facial Burning, Stinging or Itching -flushing attacks can cause uncomfortable physical symptoms, such as facial burning, stinging or itching.
Oedema (facial swelling). Sometimes soft facial swelling may last for days when the erythema flares up. Persisting hard facial oedema can also occur.
Dome shaped small lumpy red pimples (papules) - The pimples of rosacea, which often occur as the disease progresses, are different from those of acne because blackheads and whiteheads are not present. Some of these pimples contain pus (pustules) and appear as small white bumps. Left untreated larger nodules can develop.
Many people develop related problems affecting the eye- ocular rosacea. This can affect over 50% of people and can range from mild to severe. Eye problems are unlikely to develop in people taking antibiotic tablets for rosacea.
Symptoms include:

Blepharitis, (inflamed, dry and crusty eyelids), and
Conjunctivitis, (Gritty feeling eyes)
More serious problems arise, if left untreated including:

Iritis, (painful inflammation of the iris), and
Keratitis, (ulceration of the cornea).
In a few people, especially older men, the nose becomes enlarged, bumpy, red or purple and swollen (Rhinophyma).

As rosacea affects the face, it can be associated with anxiety and lack of confidence and may lead to psychological problems and depression

Answer 3

It sounds like rosacea. I've had this condition for quite a number of years. While not curable, it is very treatable. Certain triggers (sun, spicy foods, etc.) make the skin on the cheeks and nose turn red. Check out the website rosacea.org for more info and definitely see your doctor. Even if it isn't rosacea, he/she can diagnose what it is and treat you for it.

Answer 4

Hi it depends on what you have done to yourself. it could be your going throught hormone changes if you are of that age. Could just be sweating due to the time of the month, used a new product on your face that you have just bough and you are allergic to it, cold weather chapping your face. Chapped due to not drying your face properly. Touch something you are allergic to then touched your face and it has burnt it..
I have sensitive skin and it only gos like this if i use something that has burnt my skin. Go wash your face with cold water,pat it dry then apply vaseline.
