Hi, welcome to HCM
It seems that you are having rosacea.

Rosacea is considered a chronic , noncurable skin condition with periodic ups and downs. There are acne like lesions,facial flushing, blushing, redness, burning, red bumps, and small cysts. The symptoms tend to come and go.

Rosacea is not considered contagious or infectious. There is no evidence that rosacea can be spread by contact with the skin, sharing towels, or through inhalation.

Emotional factors (stress, fear, anxiety, embarrassment, etc.) may trigger blushing and aggravate rosacea.

A flare-up can be caused by changes in the weather like strong winds or a change in the humidity.

Sun exposure and sun-damaged skin is generally associated with rosacea.

Exercise, alcohol consumption, emotional upsets, and spicy food are other well-known triggers that may aggravate rosacea

Possible rosacea dietary triggers include.....
dairy including yogurt, sour cream, cheese ,alcohol,chocolate,soy sauce,yeast extract,avocados, spinach,peas and beans,citrus fruits, including tomatoes, bananas, red plums, raisins, or figs,spicy and temperature hot foods.

Vasodilator pills can also flare rosacea. Vasodilators include certain blood pressure medications like nitrates, calcium channel blockers, and thiazide diuretics.

Foods that decrease rosacea flares include less spicy meals, nonalcoholic cool beverages, caffeine-free drinks, nondairy cheese, and thermally cooler meals.

Metronidazole,azelaic acid,erythromycine or clindamycine may be used locally.

You may continue oral medicine.

I hope you got my answer..

Regards.
