Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your case history of facial Flushing, my treatment advice is:
1. Avoid sun exposure and use a good Sunscreen lotion with SPF more than 30.
2. Apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion on the affected region.
3. Take a vitamin c supplement for 3 months.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
