A member asked:
What is the cause of sudden redness in the face of a 91 year old lady? is it the weather like to much exposure to heat or cold? just worried.

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.
