A member asked:
Skin develops painless redness when exposed to heat, e.g. when leg next to heater for short time. it goes away after about 20 minutes. any problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal: This is completely normal. The heat causes the blood vessels in your skin to dilate and results in the redness.
