Many possibilities: Without seeing your patches it is not possible to be sure what they represent. Since they are hot they are an active inflammation of some sort. They could represent an allergic or infectious process or be a marker for some underlying disorder in your body.. You should see a skin doctor (Dermatologist) as soon as possible to be diagnosed, treated and avoid scarring on your face.
