What could be causing this red blotchy rash on my cheeks?

Answer by  michelle99 (73)

There can be several easy causes like an allergic reaction to a soap you are using, or excessive heat. It could also be rosacea, which should not be left untreated.

For any long-term coloration on the skin, rosacea may be the cause. If it is a short-term rash, it is commonly a symptom of seasonal allergies.

It could be a lot of things. Some, like poison ivy, will go away on their own. Others, like acne or rosacea, need medical treatment.

It could be caused by a fever, allergic reaction or a medical condition. Have you used any new bath or laundry soaps? Have you consumed any new foods lately?
