Hi Chris, I assure that you are not the only one who has this problem. Anyway, from what you wrote it might be suggusted that you have Rosacea disorder. It is too complex to expalin what it is and how to treat it. However, a good starting point to learn about this facial skin disorder is from this website:

From now on, try to reduce spicy food and alcohol consumption, switch to elecrical shaving, and avoid sauna. Just try to reduce anthying what might irritate your skin. Part of dealing with this problem is a matter of maintaining proper lifestyle.
