Question 1

why does only my right side of face get red and hot?

Accepted Answer

Rosacea: Rosacea often flares when something causes the blood vessels in the face to expand, which causes redness. Things that cause a flare-up are called triggers. Common triggers are exercise, sun and wind exposure, hot weather, stress, spicy foods, alcohol, and hot baths. Swings in temperature from hot to cold or cold to hot can also cause a flare-up of rosacea.

Inflammation: Redness and warmth of a body warmth is the classic sign of an inflammatory process but exactly which one and how best to treat is what only a doctor who examines you can determine.

See doctor again: Medicine is not an exact size since everyone is unique in his own ways.  If things don't go the way one expected, it needs to be reevaluated. See your doctor again since only a direct exam and perhaps some blood tests are needed.

Question 6

one side of face is very hot and red. it's not from heat. what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Possible infection.: Redness and warmth, with or without pain, can be a sign of infection.  Or it may be a localized reaction (dermatitis) to something that has come in contact with your skin. Do you have any sore teeth, swollen gums, fever?  How long has this has been going on? Consider a Prime Urgent Care Consult and a better diagnosis may be given. Fill out your health history in detail first. Or see a doc ASAP.

Question 10

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.
