Red Blotchy Patches On Cheeks, Chin, Forehead. Not Used Any New Cosmetics. Any Quick Remedy?

I woke up, this morning, with red, blotchy patches on my face - mainly on my cheeks, but a few on my chin and forehead . I haven t used any new lotions, soaps, laundry detergents or cleansers. I am not stressed out or on any medication other than OTC migraine meds; which I have taken for the past 10 years. I have a job interview tomorrow and would appreciate a swift response, if possible. Thank you, in advance, for your assistance!

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic
Did you expose yourself excessively to sunlight recently. It could be a mild sunburn looking at the distribution. You can keep cold compresses several times today. Apply a sunscreen in the mornings after cold compresses.
Hope this helped
Take care
