Suggest Remedy For Red Spots, Peeling And Leathery Skin On Face After Exposure To Cold

I am having a facial reaction. I first noticed it after jogging in the cold it became extremely sensitive a couple months back. My face became very leathery and red spots on it the next day. A couple days later my face started peeling drastically. Over the next couple days I used approved facial cleansers and moisturizers because I thought it was due to walking to work in the cold every morning (4 miles total per day in Seattle). The redness stayed a little bit but the symptoms seemed to go away a little bit. Over the last couple months my face has been a little bit red and puffy but nothing drastic. A couple days ago the exact same thing happened where I started to peel. I am swollen and leathery and have itchy red spots on my skin. I have fair skin and usually am sensitive in the winters but have no idea what is causing this. I first thought it was my bed sheets and pillow case that I did not wash frequently enough. We also have a mice problem in our house we just found out about and I saw one on my bed the other day which made me think it could be that too. I have always had extremely good skin and never had any trouble with acne or anything on my face. This being the second time it has happened in two months, they are definitely connected and something is causing my face to react. It could be allergies but I am not doing/eating/taking anything differently than I was before this event happened. HELP
