I had this each time in binge drank for days on end.
i did a lot of research and believe it is the blood vessels make your skin expand (something along those lines anyway).
I always found when I had it I also had itchy eyes and nose as alcohol is a histamine. The only thing you can do is not drink and it will go away and always check in with a doctor or detox specialist with any symptoms. The fact that we have these reactions externally also means there may be other issues internally. I don’t mean to scare you with that. Thiamine and other medications can go a long way in recovery to ensure you remain healthy but you must ask a health care profesional for them and be honest as painful or embarrassing as it can be.
Moisturiser doesn’t seem to do a lot for it.. just time, healthy eating and staying sober. It’s never to late to pick your self up and try again
