What Causes Reddish Skin In Between Breasts And Face?

my husband is 40 yrs old, family history of heart disease, taking metoprolol and others he SHOULD be taking but doesn't, has felt like he has a sunburn the last 2 days - without being in the sun. His skin is reddish between his breasts and on his face ...the rest of the body is aprickly red without the raised bumps.
I'm a nursing student...any ideas?

This reddish skin could be due to allergy, stress factor,alcohol,spicy foods,sun exposure or genetic.
Treatment is mainly depeand upon the underlying cause but you can take oral or topical antibiotics ( cephalosporins, macrolides,antiprotozoals) with antiallergic drugs with vitamin supplements.
The important thing is to diagnose first and for that you must go to dermatologist.
