Hi,
Hope you are doing great.
From the history you have provided it seems you may be having rosacea +/- acne vulgaris. Rosacea is a common skin disorder characterised by redness, flushing and bumps on face. Triggers include hot and spicy food, wines, tea and coffee, getting angry and emotional. TRY to control these triggers. Always use a sunscreen preferably a physical sunscreen (zinc or titanium oxide) during daylight hours. Use a very mild cleanser like Cetaphil to wash your face. There are numerous medications like meronidazole, azelaic acid, clindamycin, tetracyclines, isotretinoin, etc which may help you. Discuss with your dermatologist.
Hope you get well soon. Do not feel embarrased. Cheers.
Merry Xmas
