It sounds like you have a ruddy complexion, which easily turns red. Common causes can be embarrassment, anger, heat, or alcohol. I've read a few extreme remedies that involve laser surgery, but wouldn't recommend something like that. Maybe people are ruddy (I am!), and you shouldn't be concerned. If it's uncomfortable because your face is warm from turning red, splashing some cool water on your face always helps!
