This happened to my boyfriend tonight. He started throwing up due to an allergic reaction to a medication and after violently throwing up he got the blotches all over his forehead and cheeks.
Thanks for the info bc we were really worried.

Phewww! I thought I was the only one suffering with these red spots. I got food poisoning once, which resulted in my face and neck being covered with these spots - after a day of throwing up. When I went to the doctor, she recommended washing my face with a bar of soap -containing oatmeal. It works!!! Ever since then I've been using the trick - and it actually decreases the visibility of the red spots. Since I can't find oatmeal soap bar everywhere I go, I now just open up a pack of oatmeal - scoop some up in my hand and rub it on my wet face while washing my face.
Hope this helps :)

Does your face also become a little puffier after vomitting? I noticed this week my face looks a little more inflated, not sure if it's due to my capillaries exploding and my face swelled up from that. Can someone please confirm? Thanks

It's so nice to hear that I'm not the only one, it's so embarrasing explaining it to people, especially the kindergarteners I work with cause then they go home and tell their parents I'm red and rashy and then they come in all concerned... I'm thinking that it has to do with a low amount of iron in my diet because I'm a vegetarian. It just makes more sense now that someone above me posted about it and doing some research. Now with this happening, it makes me concerned that I'm going to look like that when I'm pregnant :( Good luck to all!

I had food poisoning with violent vomiting which resulted in a black eye...anyone else ever had or heard of this happening?

I also get this, glad its not uncommon as I thought I was on my own. Always after being sick and always on my eyelids. It is as you say, broken blood vessels due to pressure.

I am pregnant and ate something that didn't agree with my stomache last night. After throwing up uncontrollably I noticed the blood spots onmy face. It's all over my jaw line, cheek area and under the eyes and on the eyebrow area. I am 27 and have never had this problem in my life until this pregnancy. Before last night, i noticed them once before under the eye. When i think back, i think it was in the morning after morning sickness. I am so relieved to know I am not the only one who gets it. I do believe it is from the pressure of vomiting, as I was slouched over and the blood rushed to my head. I am also anaemic (low in iron) and had been taking iron supplements. I didn't get the blood spots while on the iron tablets.. I ran out of the supplements haven't taken them in 2 weeks and now the blood spots have returned. So I think the comment about the low in iron theory could be right. I hope this helps. I will definitely go and get my iron tablets ASAP...

Glad I found this post. I too tried webmd and it was a waste of time. I threw up yesterday and both eyes and all over my face. looks like someone beat me up! But no it was a mint julep on an empty stomach. never made me throw up before. andyway. I did have this happen to me a long time ago. I hate vomiting, even more for this reason. Also have a family lunch tomorrow with people I have not seen in a while. This is a good time for sun glasses. thanks for this thread. all i have found online is it's find and will go away. i never had both eyes and my face an neck like this before. nd yes I agree. next time not bending over from couch to floor - or dog bed. the bending over made it worse even though i kept telling myself just let this happen relax.
it's all gross. but the swelling has gone down a bit since yesterday. The eyes and face look WORSE! Glad it's just cosmetic and will go away. last time i had the eye thing it took closer to a month I think to dissipate. Too bad it's not close to Halloween, i'd have a great basis for a zombie costume!
