Possibly: Check your temperature. Sometimes vasomotor instability can cause flushing particularly in women who are near menopause or who are taking medications that interfere with hormone balance. There are other more rare causes including skin conditions. If problem persists, visit your primary care. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Possibly: Get a thermometer and Check your temperature. If it's normal the flushed appearance could be due to a warm environment, vasodilation from anxiety,excitement,alcohol, spices, certain medications or supplements. If you have a fever, take Tylenol (acetaminophen) and observe for any other infection type symptoms.
