After washing or shaving i get itchy red patches on my face. what could this be?

Many possibilities: Contact reactions to soap or shaving cream should be considered. Dermatographism is a condition where rashes are caused by friction on the skin in which case you would also get rashes on other parts of your body from friction. Cold temperatures can also cause hives in rare situations.
