Rash on face that vanishes then reappears, yet not itchy. What can it be?

Please can anybody advise on a recurrent face rash, that is non itchy?
It comes back in the same place, yet in different ways, either one big rash or little round marks
I’ve attached a photo (eek).
I have posted before, but ages ago, and can’t find the thread, so having another go.
I bought some Epaderm, but it hasn’t worked. I’ve been using endless amounts of concealer.
Please help.
Thanks💐

Is it dry or does it feel like normal skin but just discoloured?

Is it alcohol related? My mum gets similar on her chin and neck when she has a glass of wine?

Sorry for the delay in replying.

It is only very slightly raised, and not flaky or over dry @Gummy. I’ve also been putting unscented moisturiser on every day.

I drink wine @Bibbety, although the rash has only become a recent thing. I’ll cut out the wine and see if it’s that.
Thanks 💐

It isn't where your coat or scarf is rubbing your face is it?

Show it to pharmacist?

Could be hormonal. I get a cold sore every month.

I had a rash on chin which would appear then take a few days to clear up. Then it stopped going away. Also had pimples under my nostrils. GP said it was rosacea which is related to age. Gave me a cream so its nearly gone now.

Could be winter skin? Try A-derma Exomega lotion.
