full red face + dry, tight skin?

I’ve been having a flare up for the past month or so on my fore arms and face. I’m only asking because it’s been acting different than my usual flares. My face has been red all over for a few weeks and very dry. The skin feels tight and it goes through stages of being bright red and then it’ll be flaky and dry and then get red again. It hasn’t died down yet and my face isn’t very inflamed or bumpy like eczema patches but my whole face is flushed red pretty much all the time, like I just ran 5 miles or something. It also feels hot. When I scratch or press on the skin it turns white. Just wondering if anyone has experienced similar symptoms and what you thought it was? I have a bunch of theories of personal triggers that could make it different than normal but I have no idea. It’s not widespread over my whole body but localized to my face/neck and patches on my body.
