Hi Krisha,
Welcome to HCM, it is our duty to think with your problems.
Your face become red majorty of time...this condition might be "flushing" or erythema, but it needs the following information to explore the manage your condition...
1. Age
2. Sex
3. Menstrual history (If female)
4. Drug history-if any
5. Site of involvement- whole face/cheeks/cheeks and nasal bridge
6. If it appears with excitement/hot drink/spicy food
7. Any relation with sun exposure.
