Vasodilation: This redness is most likely due to dilation of tiny blood vessels(capillaries) in your face. This dilation occurs with exposure to heat,certain hormones,anxiety,spices, alcohol,wind,Sun,etc. You are too young to get hot flashes due to estrogen deficiency. You could ask for a check for overactive thyroid. The vasodilator response is very pronounced in some people more than others.

Flushing: When you say you feel terrible when it happens, are you having other symptoms like heart racing, dizziness, nausea? Any other symptoms, or just feel "embarrassed"? Does it happen in situations where you are embarrassed? Do you have rosacea? Just some thoughts to start with here.
