Hot skin, lots of sweating!

[Helpmex]

Im having a problem with my skin, i have a really red face mostly my cheeks and my nose and When i

Put makeup on it seams to really flare up, it gets soo hot and red. I am not rough with my skin and its been going on for years so have tried god knows how many foundations. Also I sweat unreal amounts around my head. Like dripping down my neck. E.g. I only walked into a club but within 5 mins it was dripping down my neck. But the back of my arms and legs are freezing to touch. Im also only 18.

Please help

Hi Helpmex,

You need to see your doctor for a proper diagnosis. However, it sounds like you might have rosacea. In people with rosacea, oil and alcohol-based skincare products or makeup can make symptoms worse. Ideally, you need to use oil-free, alcohol-free, fragrance-free, and water-based products.

There are also medications that can help you to manage your symptoms.

I wasn't able to find any reliable information on rosacea and sweating. Perhaps another member can help.

All the best,

Shell.

Have you seen your GP about this? It doesn't sound normal, and there are maybe tests they can do to find out why its happening.
