For that please consult an allergy specialist and get skin ***** tests and blood tests for allergy done. If the skin testing is negative, it is likely that you are intolerant to wine and beer. If the skin testing is positive, you should avoid food and drink that contain that specific ingredient.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
My skin sometimes gets really red and blotchy on my neck, upper arms and upper chest. Not sure what causes it. It seems to come and goes whenever it wants...It's never itchy or raised, but does feel slightly warm to the touch. It gets annoying and embarrasing at times, people think I have a sunburn or rash. Does anyone know what is going on & how to stop it?
Hello,
Hives (medically known as urticaria) are red, itchy, raised areas of skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes.
Take non-sedating antihistamines such as Cetirizine(Zyrtec) or Loratadine(Claritin)to get symptom relief. Sedating antihistamines such as Chlorphenamine(Benadryl) are used at night to get urticaria control. Short courses of oral cortisone or steroids are taken for short periods (one to three days) to settle more severe symptoms.
Hi. I keep having allergic reactions on my face only. Its like a rash and is quite blotchy and very red. I have a severe allergy to peanuts (which i avoid all nuts). I've been to the doctors (as im discharged from the hospital) about my reactions as they happen now on a daily basis, which they've been giving me antibiotic steroid cream which helps my reaction calm down.
i suffer regularly from itchy skin, with raised red areas, blotchy skin on the side of my torso, top of my arms, stomach and chest ares, neck, face and lower back. im allergic to nicotine, dust mites, whole fat milk, nuts etc and suffer from haye fever and eczema. i use many creams including betnovate, dermol lotion, aqueous cream, nizoral and fucidine. drs have given me steroid tablets for the short term, i've tried chinese herbal medicine, bought allergy duvet pillows and hoover.
I drank Holsten 3-4 years ago nothing happened but this time I got red face like red pepper, red eyes, rashes on forehead, below front of neck, knees and red palms with little nervousness but no itches.
This is disturbing me and sounds like I would have to sacrifice my enjoyment of drinking beer Friday every week.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Another differential is alcohol intolerance and its symptoms include headache, rapid heartbeat, nausea, vomiting, nasal congestion, warm/red/itchy skin, abdominal pain and runny nose.
You need to go for an allergy testing for the ingredients of the beverage you take to know what you are allergic to and rule out any alcohol intolerance as well. For this please consult an allergist.

You are not allergic alcohol. It causes direct vasodilation of the skin, related either to alcohol directly or its metabolite, acetaldehyde. Alcohol is oxidized to acetaldehyde in the liver by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). This acetaldehyde is further converted to acetic acid by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. In some individuals due to abnormal or deficient acetaldehyde dehydrogenase will cause accumulation of acetaldehyde which is a potent trigger of flushing.
Hi,
Our 7 month old son started to get a rash on his chin about 4 weeks ago, which shortly after spread upwards to above his top lip as well. The doc said it looked like a "teething rash", as it was red, blotchy with little red bumps but didn't seem to bother him at all. He does spit up a lot and has been very drooly lately, but no teeth yet. The past week or so, the patchiness is going up onto the cheeks and even his nose.
In my opinion,you should consult an allergist and get allergy testing done for the different constituents of red wine.
Diagnosis of allergy can be done by skin ***** tests and patch tests. In this a little amount of allergen is injected into the skin of the forearm by a doctor. The skin is closely watched for signs of a reaction, which include swelling and redness. Confirmatory diagnosis is by blood tests (RAST).Then avoidance of that allergen is the best treatment.
Hope it helps.
I know this is common with drinking large amounts of alcohol (ie alcohol flush) but I have also observed myself and found that my face has blotchy skin for a few days on days in which I have not consumed alcohol the day prior. I am 26 and cannot ever recall my face going this red prior to 6 months ago. I will attach some photos of what I mean and then I want to ask you
a) Do you think I have rosacea?
b) If so, how would you rate it on a scale or 1-10 (10 being worst)?
Some people may also attribute the prominent red nose to excessive alcohol intake. Treatment choices for rosacea depend on the severity and extent of symptoms. Available medical treatments include antibacterial washes, topical creams, antibiotic pills, lasers, pulsed-light therapies, photodynamic therapy, and isotretinoin. For proper diagnosis and management of rosacea, I would recommend that you have this evaluated by your dermatologist.
Take care and keep us posted.
For about 2 or 3 years I've been suffering with this chronic rash on my face. It always appears in the exact same areas: on either side of my nose angling down towards the corners of the mouth, below my mouth on either side and in a small patch on my jawline on the right side of my face.
I have been having some symptoms on my face recently and I don't know what it is. For the past month, off and on, I've had these red areas on my face, somewhat blotchy - they're more apparent right after I wash my face and sometimes when I workout. They are around the bottom edge of my face and a little around the nose. There are some bumpy areas, but they are certainly not pimples. The red areas aren't really raised and my skin is not itchy.
my mom noticed that when i eat i get red and blotchy on my chest and sometimes part of my neck. it doesn't itch but it can get a little warm but most of the time i don't even notice. and the blotchyness goes away like 10-15mins after i finish eating. i'm not allegric to anything and i break out everytime i eat! even some of my friends have notcied it. what do you think it is?
