What Causes Redness On The Face After Drinking Flavored Coffee?
This morning after a breakfast of Organic GF Cereal and 1/2 a cup of flavored coffee my face slowly turned red, primarily on the right side. I became suspicious of the Starbucks Christmas Blend coffee. However, I have never had food allergies. (Everything else, but not food). Ideas?

Hi,
Your symptoms happen because, over time, the tiny capillaries in the face weaken and leak blood into the skin. The most common triggers of facial flushing include caffeine, alcohol and spicy food. These substances dilate the blood vessels and can cause facial redness.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
