A member asked:

What is the cause of my skin getting hot and i have a normal temperature reading?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibilities: There are many possible causes. You should see your doctor to work through these. Lab tests based on age and sex would be appropriate. Changing medications could also be a cause. Follow up with your doctor.
