Hi,

The red rash occuring on the face off and on may be inflammatory acne or rosacea. For firm diagnosis, you consult dermatologist.stress, anxiety,tension, excessive sun exposure, exercise, travelling,oily food might trigger the disease. Antibiotic like azithromycine or minocycline gor long time would give good result in both cases. Clindamycine gel application at night would impruve inflammatory acne. And metronidazole gel on rosacea might imrove cleanse the face with antiseptic liq like cetaphil. After long treatment you might be benefitted. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
