Hi,

Are there other symptoms present? One differential is rosacea,  which is  a  chronic, inflammatory skin disorder  and  presents as  facial redness across the nose, cheeks, chin and forehead.  Potential triggers  include external  factors such as the sun, wind, food or beverages, hot environments, cold environments, vasodilator medications, physical irritation, and even cosmetics or skin care products. Stress, anxiety, strong emotions, and hormone-related conditions  may also lead to this condition.  Try to avoid such triggers. If it persists, have this evaluated by your doctor for proper management. Direct examination is important to determine the diagnosis.

Take care and keep us posted.
