There are many possible underlying causes for your signs and symptoms, or this could be purely a skin issue. I would recommend you see your physician so that you can have a proper examination and possible testing, to make a proper diagnosis and treatment if necessary.

I always attributed the reddish discoloration of the skin of the upper arms in young females to female hormonal actions causing dilation of tiny blood vessels in the skin. This would also explain the hot sensation that goes with it.
