See a dr: Hot flashes occur when hormonal fluctuations work on your nervous system to cause warmth, sweating & skin redness. In a male, causes may include stress, anxiety, thyroid dysfunction, testosterone drop, androgen suppression and testicular cancer. Certain medications/supplements may also cause hot flashes such as niacin, green tea extracts, steroids. See a dr to do a comprehensive workup
