Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC ..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. ..

As per your complain the symptoms of red blotches over face extending to neck, chest, arms and back seems to be either allergic reaction or side effects of excess intake of alcohol..
It can also be due to any particular brand of alcohol..
As alcohol is anyways not good for health I would suggest you to completely quit alcohol intake as the symptoms might keep on progressing and become more severe..
To relieve the symptoms you can take anti allergics like Benadryl and if there is itching over the rashes you can apply Steroid ointment over it.


Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
