What Causes Red Patchy Skin On Neck?

default
Posted on Tue, 10 Feb 2015
Question: Hello, I've recently started eating healthily and exercising as part of a long journey to a healthy weight. I've started drinking a glaglass or warm lemon water morning and night and have noticed dry red patchy skin where my neck meets my shoulders and also over the surface of my nose and cheeks. Could this be a reaction, should I change something or is it just my body cleansing?
