Question 1

my face gets really red and really hot at times as do my ears. i don't think it's a rash. can u tell me what could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Rosacea?: You may be developing rosacea, a skin disease of unknown cause. It affects about 16 million people and often affects middle aged females of fair complexion. Many triggering factors are known including alcohol. I recommend the website, www.rosacea.org, which is a national organization devoted exclusively to people affected with rosacea. Also, a dermatologist is an excellent physcian to evaluate.

Question 2

what are red hot blotches on my face?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: This can't be diagnosed with the information that is available. A history, physical examination &amp; other studies may be needed to determine cause/causes. Once accurately assessed a treatment plan can be developed.

Question 3

why is my head always red hot? what is wrong with me? can i get help? i have been told my throid is normal.

Accepted Answer

Psychological eval.: Your symptom suggests a psychiatric source. If you are feeling emotionally unwell this is more evidence that the source is in the mind. The mind-body connection is real and mental disturbance can cause all sorts of abnormal
bodily sensations including severe pain. Another possibility would be a genetic dysautonomia, but this is rare and would have many additional symptoms.Have a mental health eval

Question 4

im on erythromcin for severe sinistitus but keep getting red hot faceone side any heat brings it up how can i stop the red face i feel so low?

Accepted Answer

Sinusitis: Severe SInusitis can cause facial discomfort with possible entrapped purulent secretions causing the hot sensations. Steam inhalations and irrigating the nasal passages with warm salt water promoting drainage are important in relieving some of your symptoms. Sometimes a more potent antibiotic is needed to clear up severe SInusitis. An otolaryngologist is best qualified to evaluate and advise you.

Question 5

i get a red hot face after drinking wine. why could it be?

Accepted Answer

Not uncommon: Alcohol has a vasodilatory effect. It is possible you are allergic to the sulfites as well.

Question 6

green head fly bite area is getting larger over the last 2 hours and is red hot and itchy.  when should i be concerned and request treatment ?

Accepted Answer

Deer fly: That sounds like a deer fly bite -which can be painful. They can cause allergic reactions - and depending on your history of allergy you may need to be exceptionally  careful. If it's not getting better, then you need to get evaluated. Warning signs would be feeling lightheaded, breathing problems, the development of hives, nausea/vomiting, rapid heart rate etc. Try some ice and maybe Benadryl (diphenhydramine) now

Question 7

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.

Question 8

i go from pale (sick) white. to bright red ( hot).in my face. other than hbp im not sick. what is goin on?

Cannot diagnose: This cannot be evaluated via the internet. Suggest seeing your pcp and discussing this. If you have had small bowel tumor this may be carcinoid syndrome, but there are many other possibilities. See your doctor and hope you are well soon.

Question 9

There are some very serious conditions that are associated with sudden alcohol intolerance.
