Flushing: Redness of the face could be caused by an allergic reaction, fever, alcohol, an elevated red blood cell count, hyperthyroidism or, rarely, by a neuroendocrine tumor. It merits a visit to a doctor.

My rbc is at 5.9, hemoglobin is at 18 gm/dL, and hemotacrit is at 54%. I have burning pain, redness, itching through my feet, hands, extremities, and even in my face. Heat makes symptoms worse. Could these cbc numbers be the cause of my symptoms?
