What Causes Redness On The Face?
My face is always red and has been for about the last 4 years. I wear sunscreen and I m not outdoors frequently. I ve gone to the dermatologist several times and she cannot figure it out. Now I m noticing red blotches on my trunk (not on my back) that are about 1/2 inch in size, not raised but a bit drier than the rest of my skin. Thanks.

Hello,
Your symptoms can be related to rosacea.
I recommend using topical treatment such as azelaic acid which is an anti-inflammatory gel.
If the symptoms continue I recommend taking oral antibiotics prescribed by a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
