What Causes Red Colored Blotches On Face, Ears And Chest Area?

I get red hot to the touch blotches on my face, ears, chest and upper arms more so on the left side of my body anytime I get upset, drink alcohol, shower and often after I eat. I used to only get this when I drank alcohol and now it seems to be happening almost every day and I do not know what the trigger is. What is causing this and is there anything that I can do to reduce/elimate these symptoms? The only Rx I take is Beyaz birth control and I have been taking 3 Equate (walmart brand) non-drowsy benedryl every day for about a month in effort to reduce my symptoms. I am 26 y/o white female 5 3 and weigh about 145 if that makes a difference. Also, I have occasionally checked my BP during the event and it is within normal range. Please advise.

no need to worry about this, better to stop the hormone containing medicine, take care, have a nice day.
