26/male. My skin is always so pale "pink" and flushed. Dry in the winter. Oily in the summer. It's frustrating to say the least. I don't really ever get pimples (whiteheads/blackheads), so I'm wondering what this could be. It's not roseacea... I checked out a bunch of pics on roseacea websites and nothing looks like what I have. But, I don't think it's acne either.

Sometimes I'll just be sitting around and suddenly I'll feel my skin become very hot. So, I check a mirror and it's all pink and flushed. Looks terrible. My skin looks great when I wake up in the morning, but as the day goes on, it gets worse. Also, sometimes under certain lighting, it looks way worse than normal, and sometimes it feels like the light is actually causing my skin to flush. After a hot shower, my skin will stay flushed and hot for HOURS.

I do tend to drink a lot of beer, but I also drink a TON of water every day, and I try to avoid facewashes. I only wash with water. I was wondering if anyone found a relation between beer and randomly flushing skin?

What could this be? I'm thinking about seeing a derm, but I don't really have a lot of extra money to be throwing away on prescriptions that don't ever work.

Thanks in advance.
