Why is my sister's face getting red and hot?

My sister%26#039;s face has been getting red and feeling hot (like sunburn) lately. It also sometimes affects her arms. Does anyone know what might cause this? How to stop it? Is it a cause for concern? (p.s. She doesn%26#039;t drink alcohol any more.)
Why is my sister%26#039;s face getting red and hot?
My first guess is anger - is she having a problem or angry about something lately?





I have a 7 year old daughter and she gets very red hot patches on her cheeks. It%26#039;s hard for me to say what the problem is with her, but there is a Boiron homeopathic remedy we use for her (since she was quite small) called Belladonna 30C (we get it at whole foods) and a couple of little pearls occassionally seems to get rid of it pretty quickly.





Peace!

shes prolly allergic too something...she should go to the docter and see wuts wrong...they could find out wuts causing it
Reply:She could be eating to much garlic or she could be eating to much acidy foods which can cause rosacia. look it up and see the symptoms. Consult a doc, too.
Reply:Have your sister see a dermatologist: it sounds like it may be a case of rosacea, which causes redness in the face, particularly in the cheeks and nose. This can occasionally have a prickling feeling similar to the sunburn. There is no cure, but many treatments can help ease the symptoms and redness. If not treated rosacea can actually be disfiguring, causing a %26quot;bulbous%26quot; nose with raised patches of skin. it%26#039;s also debilitating to many%26#039;s self-esteem. Avoiding hot situations, stress, exercising with a cool towel wrapped around the neck are simple strategies to alleviate the redness and burning sensation.


of course this is not the only explanation to what she is experiencing. Allergies are always suspected, as are adverse reactions to medication (many of which cause redness in the face), thyroid conditions, a rare metabolic condition called porphyria, etc.


Luckily serious sytemic disorsers such as lupus and scleroderma produce facial rashes but are not painful. (not in all patients but this is the generality)
