What Causes Red Blotches All Over Chest, Neck And Face?

I am a 25 year old female and have just recently began getting these red blotches across my chest, neck, and on my face (usually the sides/ cheeks) when I get frustrated, nervous, or am in the least bit of a heated discussion. I ve never had this before until probably the past 5 months. Is there anything I can to do to minimize (hopefully eliminate) this embarrassing red blotchy mess? Thanks!

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have red blotches all over chest, neck and face . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like contact dermatitis , allergic reaction , side effect , sensitivity to sunlight , eczema , psoriasis or seborrheic dermatitis . I would suggest you to keep this area clean and dry , apply cold compresses on affected area to get rid fron itchiness and redness and take bendryl twice a day . If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order immunosuppressnats along with corticosteroid ointment , antibiotics like clindamycin .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
