Hi,
How are you? Your rash could be due to telangiectasia which are small, unsightly red blood vessels found along the surface on the face, upper chest or neck. These blood vessels are abnormal. These can be covered with make-up or removed with sclerotherapy, laser, or PhotoDerm.  To be able to diagnose if this is the case, direct clinical examination is essential. Take care and do keep us posted.
