What Causes Inflammation On The Face?

My face is red and feels hot. No fever... 97.6. BP is okay... 119/76. I ve eaten and drank water and iced tea. Its been this way for a couple hours now. Yesterday I had two steroid injections...one in my wrist (old broken wrist injury hampering recovery from torn UCL surgery in December) and one in my thumb (trigger thumb).
