Hi- Is that facial skin? If so, it sounds like rosacea.People who have fair skin are more likely to get it. I would advise you To see a dermatologist- there is so much they can do for rosacea. Use skin care products that don't have alcohol or ***** hazel. Use products for sensitive skin. Temperatures that are too hot or too cold can worsen rosacea. Use a good sunscreen when you are out in the sun. There are certain foods that can cause rosacea to flare up.Stress can be another trigger. Hope this helps.

Hey! Thanks for your reply!
I should have said this in my original post, but its actually not on my face. Its my body, like arms/hands and legs. Does what you talked about still apply to facial skin?

Hi- Rosacea is on the facial skin. I know raynauds syndrome can affect your hands and feet, causing them to turn bluish in response to the cold. You should check it out with your doctor to be sure.
