C/w vasodilatation: of arterioles ↑ing flow to capillaries supplying skin of areas mentioned. Arterioles, body wide, under split second control 24/7: primarily from brain (+ local feedback), so that we can adjust blood distribution throughout body. The issue is BP/flow into local capillaries, not large arteries. Thus many issues are involved, from blushing (embarrassment) to any kind of perceived local irritant.

Warm sensation: Those sensations without skin changes suggests vasodilatation by spices, alcohol,nicotine, sun light, wind, anxiety, fever, elevation of ambient temperature, certain medications, certain vitamins,etc. You'll have to experiment to pinpoint the cause.
