Hi Anonymous. We can not diagnose you but if you are able to give more information about your symptoms people here could direct you perhaps. Best Regards, Titters

There's not much to say other than sometimes it's red and hot especially when i drink alcohol. Sometimes itchy

We are all different but when my son was around 20 he had a rash like that which turned out to be allergy to colourings in alcopops and similar bottled boozy drinks.

I am intolerant to certain things, I'm 21. I've contacted the doctors but they don't do much. they gave me cream for rosacea. And to book a lupus test. I'm dermatitis prone too

You say you have intolerance to certain things. Are these intolerances food related? If it tends to come up more when drinking, it could be an ingredient in the drink? Have you been tested for allergies? Unfortunately like titters has said we can only ‘guess’ at what is possibly causing it and the doc is the best person cause they will be able to continue investigating on the various symptoms until they have an answer.

Hope you it’s resolved soon.

Thanks yeah, I've told the doctors but they haven't done anything they're useless! I have intolerances to wheat and such and its mostly always on my face. Sudocrem helps a lot with the rash but still. I'm trying to see if anyone has the same thing, gone out on a whim to see if anyone recognises the rash!

The reason I asked about food intolerance is because my daughter gets a rash that looks like yours, can’t remember if she says it’s itchy but know she says it’s sore and feels like it’s hot. She has coeliac, also gets a bloated stomach and all because she’s made a mistake and eaten something with gluten in. She just uses moisturiser to help soothe it.

I'm not sure If I've already been tested but I'll look into it. I did go gluten free for around a year and it didn't really go away. I've slowly tried to reintroduce it into my life. Thank you for your help :) its much appreciated
