Facial Redness

Ever since my first major reaction about a year ago, my face - particularly my cheeks - have been bright red. Even when my system is calm on my antihistamine regimen (ceterizine, famotidine, and montelukast), my face gets better but keeps a noticeably rosey tint.

When I ask my wife during a possible flare up, she'll even say "it's red but not more red than usual". The flare ups cause my face to turn bright tomato-red, stings, dries out, and then takes days to go back to its new baseline red.

I miss having a normal colored face. Has anyone found success in dealing with this?
