Facial red blotches causes Red blotches on the skin can be due to any number of problems, and it is difficult, if not impossible to provide a diagnosis without actually examining the skin personally. You should visit your doctor for a check up, and if necessary visit a dermatologist.
One possibility is a condition known as rosacea.
The condition mostly affects white skinned people, and results in the skin on the face turning red. Sometimes there may also be burning and stinging, and the skin may break out into something similar to pimples. It is not very well understood how and why the condition develops, but direct causes of the redness and stinging include sunlight, cold wind, sudden temperature changes, coffee, alcohol, and spices.
There are a number of treatments available, but you will have to find out what works for you.
Another possibility is that you are simply experiencing an allergic reaction. Try to note whether any particular food, drugs, or environmental factors trigger the appearance of the red blotches on your face. If you find some link, then you should avoid whatever it is that is causing the blotches.
Meanwhile, avoid scratching your face even if it itches. You can instead apply a cold compress to your face. This will also take care of any stinging and burning or pain that might exist.
