Thank you to everyone who has posted all of the great information in this forum. I have learned so much, but the more I read also, the more confused I am whether what I am experiencing is "Asian Blush", or Rosacea, or allergy...etc
Occasionally, when I drink, not every time, I start to feel my face and ears get very warm. I will get red blotches. Not a full face flush, but red jagged edged blotches on my face and very prevalently on my chest. Sometimes my shoulders. Sometimes it happens with wine, sometimes not. Sometimes beer, sometimes not. Sometimes hard liquor, again sometimes not. The blotches don't last the entire time I am drinking either. They will often go away after 10-30 minutes. I don't get a headache, or itching, or nausea. Just warm red blotches that eventually subside.
These same blotches often appear when I am emotional, hot, excited...etc They often appear when I first go out in the sun. They eventually fade.
I am of Hispanic and European ancestry. I am not aware of an Asian ancestry, but then again, I haven't traced my family back that far. This does not happen to either of my parents nor does it happen to my sisters.
My main concern is the increased risk of cancer. Do my symptoms sound like I might have "Asian Blush"?
Thanks for your help!
