Question

I have sensitive skin. When it get to hot my face begin to burn, i also brake out if my skin get to hot. I want to know is it anything that can be done about my condition?

Answer

One condition which can do that is rosacea. Although it is usually seen in adults, it can occasionally be seen in teenagers. There are many ways to treat it, so I suggest that you see a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and start you on some sort of treatment. Good luck!
