A member asked:
Both arms are flushing, especially when anxious, hot, or lifting something heavy/exercising. bright red and warm all over entire arm-something serous?

No: No, not serious. It is usually caused by a "histamine" mediated response that can occur with just the things you mentioned including exercise and anxiety. Don't hesitate to be seen and discuss with your doctor.

Such behavior is: physiologically typical: c/w relaxation of arterioles (under mind/brain control) controlling blood flow to skin capillaries, thus allowing more blood flow to skin, "flushing", with an ↑ed pink (RBCs) color visible & ↑ed warmth (from deeper organ tissues). Regarding "serious" vs. not "serious": too little information is offered to estimate such a judgement. Study the vehicle(body) you are driving.
