What Causes Red Facial Blotches After Hot Shower?

I just took a hot shower after working out and noticed tiny red spots (just circles not bumps) scattered on the side of my face. This doesn t happen often but i ll get it during odd times like hanging upside down or crying. This is the first time it s happened after a hot shower though. Why does this happen? And is there anything I can do to get rid of them asap or even avoid?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi
It seems you are having urticaria which is an allergic reaction.
Take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once daily at bedtime for 2-3 weeks.
This will prevent the occurence of these spots.
