Question 2

Question 3

why does one side of my face and ear get red, hot and flushed ?

Accepted Answer

Rosacea: The most likely diagnosis is rosacea, which can be asymmetrical in some people. Multiple treatment regimens are effective, but they all involve a low-dose antibiotic such as doxycycline, so you'll need to see a dermatologist.

? Rosacea: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you and your symptoms warrant evaluation by a physician. Your description of the issue suggests rosacea and you may check this site for more information on this topic, however, do see a doctor.

Wish you good health.

Question 5

at night my face and ears get really red and hot to the touch. never happens during the day and is always gone in the morning. not bumpy or itchy. what is this?

Accepted Answer

Overheated: If your room is too warm, your body temperature may be driven up without the regulatory mechanism of vasodilation, which often occurs at the cheeks and ears, allowing heat to be emitted out of the body, thereby keeping your internal body temperature normal. As the night progresses and you move into a restful sleep, the body temperature falls, so the blood vessels would no longer be dilated.

Question 6

my face is flushing, especially when i'm nervous, but it's always red, lips are also red, and sometimes even ears, and i feel hot too. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety: is state of tension, apprehension, worry, uneasiness or fear. It may be related to anticipated danger or arise for no apparent reason. While mild episodes of anxiety are common and do not usually require treatment, more severe forms can be chronic and debilitating. Some times no treatment is the best treatment. See your PCP for evaluation and advice.

Question 7

why suddenly and frequently the right side of my face and ear turn red n get very hot. i can be sitting down and somebody tells me wats wrong why red?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: Flushing is not uncommon, and can be triggered by emotions or things that dilate blood vessels (warm drinks, alcohol, certain meds).  The fact that it is only happening on one side of your face is a bit more unusual.  I would probably get it checked out, especially if you have other neurological symptoms on that side (numbness, skin sensitivity, etc...)

Question 8

my ears and cheeks turn bright red and really hot, my  face and neck turn bloatchy, red and hot when i've even took one sip of alchoal lately what's go?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol is a : Vasodilator or vasoactive product, which can make the skin vessels of your head and body to dilate and increase blood flow in those areas.  When blood flow increases, your skin appears red and hot, or blotchy. You may have develop a sensitivity to alcohol, or is the combination of alcohol with other vasodilators. Most likely you won't have problems if avoiding alcohol for a while.

Question 9

i through periods where i have a glass of wine and my face and ears get red/hot-then its fine for a while and starts again. cause?

Accepted Answer

Vasodilatation: While it is impossible to make the exact diagnosis, it is most likely an effect of alcohol causing opening up or widening temporarily of the facial blood vessels. This type of flushing can be only a temporary event, and should not be of concern and less you see the blood vessels remaining for an extended time.see a dermatologist!

Question 10

face and neck and ears get red and hot most evenings. what could possibly cause that? and no rash or bumps. just red like a light sunburn and warm but no fever. its just uncomfortable.

Accepted Answer

Vasodilation: This symptom is caused by dilation of small blood vessels(capillaries) in your skin. It may be triggered by various stimuli such as hot environment, embarrassment,anxiety,certain medications or vitamins, alcohol or release of certain hormones made by glands or even tumors within your body. If you can't determine the cause,I recommend consulting an endocrinologist who will order appropriate tests.
