Sensitive skin: Red skin usually is a signal of inflammation or irritation. It sounds like your skin is very sensitive and you might be experiencing a contact dermatitis to soaps or other lotions that you use on your face. When you scratch your face and it peels, this is a sign that you are further irritating the skin. I would try using a mild cleanse like Cetaphil on your face and see a dermatologist for a dx.

Avoid washing your: face with hot water. Use moisturizer to your face. If it does not get any better in a couple weeks see a skin doctor.
