I have reviewed the attached photograph and it could be rosacea.
Does it happen only affected workout or after intake or hot foods and fluid?
How many days does it last ?

It happened at least one time before a couple months ago, I workout like 5 times a week and I just noticed it yesterday, The first time I know I had a meatball sub form subway, I think I ate too much and ended up puking it up, I had tacos on Tuesday, the day before I noticed it, I don't know if that is it. The last time it lasted about 3 days. I feel a little hotter but not bad overall. No itching or burning, no bumps or pustules.
