Recurring Redness Over Face, Neck And Ears, Itching And Warmness Over The Area. Cause?

My face, neck and ears have suddenly become red, and I feel quite hot in these areas and very itchy. This has been happening since Friday. I did buy a new facial cream which I applied on Thursday and Friday twice. On Saturday this red, itchy effect started, so I stopped using the cream. I came into work today and I was fine, then in the past hour my face has got redder and hotter and very itchy.

Most often there are no other complaints.
