Hello, I may have had this longer but in the last 3 months or so I've noticed an (almost)symmetrical rash on my lower cheeks area next to my mouth and nose.
It seems to get worse as the day goes on, it's not too noticeable when I wake up but I guess as I get warmer or my heart rate goes up during the day it brings it out because it gets worse if I get stressed/angry or embarrassed about something and also seems to get a little worse when I eat.
Alcohol seems to bring it out too.
I have been a bit stressed these last few months with work stress and also girlfriend problems and I know stress can cause rashes but then why would it focus on this lower cheek area ?
The skin doesn't really seem dry as such but if you look closely it does have a slightly different appearance to the rest of my face, it looks a little scaly almost, maybe irritation ?
It doesn't itch although I do find when i'm thinking about it a lot and getting myself stressed a lot my face does feet a bit tight and tingly.
I don't put soap on my face except for shaving cream.
Only possible things I think I've done are.....
It did seem to start when I went from shaving twice a week to 3 times a week and I have always been sensitive to shaving, I have since gone back to twice a week and have avoided shaving with a razor in that area, surely would have healed by now ?
Used to have spicy sauces on my food but have since stopped and a few times I may have left sauce around my mouth area instead of washing it off straight away, but again surely this would have healed by now ?
How do I post pictures on here ? Thanks for any help.
