A member asked:

My face feels like its on fire?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vasodilation: It appears that you're experiencing vasodilation of small blood vessels in your face. Avoid sunlight, wind, spices and alcohol to minimize this reaction. If there are any other skin changes, for further evaluation see a dermatologist.
