The thing is, these spots only hang around for a few hours. I have the worst luck—if I actually managed to book an appointment and show up at the clinic, the redness would be gone and I’d have nothing to show for it. :S

For a few years now, I’ve been dealing with this weird thing where random breakouts or red patches just pop up on my face out of nowhere.
Every time I spot one, my first thought is always, "Eh, it's probably nothing."
Most often, the redness shows up right after I shower when I’m getting ready to head out. For a while, I actually convinced myself it was just nerves—you know, that sudden flush you get when you're anxious about making a good impression on someone.
...It’s also happened when I’ve been genuinely stressed, like during an argument, but since it doesn't happen every single time things get heated, I'm starting to think that might just be a coincidence.
As for my theory about insect bites, I'm having my doubts. If bugs were the culprit, why would the redness and bumps only show up on my face and chest instead of all over my body? Plus, there have been a couple of times where I felt a sharp stinging sensation right as a bump started forming, yet I didn't see or hear a single bug nearby.
I’m honestly at a loss here.
Does anyone have any ideas what this could be?
😕
