What Could Cause Face Flush And Red Splotches?

I am a 22 year old female, 5'5", 140lbs. I have been on 20mg adderall XR for almost 5 months now. This month my doctor added a 10mg adderall IR to take at noon because 20mg XR were starting to wear off for me. After a few weeks of taking the initial 20mg XR qd, I noticed that my face would get very red and really hot. It would pass after 20-30 minutes. This happens every now and then and especially when I take my adderall 3-4 days in a row (when I do not need it for school or work, I do not take it). Recently after adding 10mg IR qd, I still experience occasional face flushing and heat, but also I have noticed red splotches appear on my neck, chest, and upper arms that are not raised, just red discoloration patches that start on my neck and spread down to my chest. When these splotches appear, my neck and chest are not hot like when my faces flushes, but occasionally it does mildly and intermittently itch. These symptoms sometimes appear together (face flush and red splotches) but usually if it happens, I experience one or the other. I do not have high blood pressure (my normal on and off adderall ranges from systolic 100-110 to diastolic 70-80). Are these symptoms normal findings of adderall or not? If not, are they dangerous? I do not feel any dizziness, heart rate changes, or run a fever.
