whenever I go outside in extreme cold or hot weather my skin turns bright red, when I drink cold or hot drinks it turns red, when I exercise too hard my face is red, and even if i rub it. Could this be part of eczema AND contact dermatitis? Even when I am mad or depressed my face breaks out. And what treatment could I get for this? Would cortisone be a good choice?

If it is just a red flush with no other symptoms, I don't think it is eczema.
Eczema skin is dry, itchy and inflammed. You get rashes and marks that you can't help not itching and scratching.
If eczema is not what you are having, I don't suggest cortisone. Cortisone comes with side effects. I know - I am an eczema sufferer.

Maybe you have a slight touch of rosacea.
