I was just wondering if anyone else ever has hot flushes in their face, like JUST the face, not any other part of the body. I have these quite often, to the point where I have to put a cold cloth or even ice on my face to feel better. There's no redness on my face when it happens, and no sweating. I'm pregnant, but I had this problem for a long time before that. I had a checkup recently and was fine, and my husband is a doctor and he's not sure what it is either LOL. Plus I'm only 26, so kind of young for menopause! Anyway I'm not really expecting an answer, just wanting to see if anyone else has this and maybe even what you do to relieve it! Thanks.

Yes I have I have wondered many times if I am the only one that goes through that. I do get a red face when it happens but usually towards the end of the so called hot flash I sweat all the time and then I am freezing.

Hi Orange,

I've been experiencing the same thing for several months now, and no doctor can give me an explanation. It feels like my face is beet red, but when I look in the mirror, I'm the same color as ever. I almost always have that "hot face" sensation, especially on my cheeks. I'm so tired of it! And sometimes it spreads to the rest of my body and I feel weak and have to run to the bathroom... My hands and feet also feel like they're burning.

I am having the same issue and I'm a guy so female hormones aren't the issue... Trying to find out some info as to what may be causing it. Its annoying!

Yeah, I've recently started to get this. I was just wondering if anyone has back pain also, as a it has been suggested that the two are linked.

Yes I do have back pain upper, mid, lower you name I have it. I have severe leg pain also

I also have acute hot sensations in the face but I also when I have the flushes. I have them all the time, it just gets better when I am out in the cold. If I stay too much in a closed room, I sometimes feel intolerably hot and my cheeks and my era burn. Anybody any idea what this is? Thank you.

The fatigue and burning symptoms are caused by the central nervous system. This can be caused by many things including poor diet, heavy metal toxicity, and mold exposure. My bet is that you have candidiasis or systemic yeast overgrowth. This is extremely common if you eat the standard American diet.

The main cause of auto immune disorders (where the body attacks itself- including the central nervous system) is leaky gut. Leaky gut can be caused by poor diet which leads to candida albicans overgrowth. Candida is a fungus that live in your bowels and are a food source for the good bacteria. When the bad bacteria overwhelm the good bacteria they develop rizoids which burrow into the intestinal lining. This causes microscopic holes in which foods particles and toxins leak through into the blood stream.

Treating this problem is very difficult as the medicines are ineffective (masking the symptoms and the yeast comes back WITH A VENGEANCE). The only real course of action is to go on a candida diet. Once the candida is under control then switch to a GAPS diet to heal the leaky gut. It can take months to a year to be fully healed.

You can eat normally again in the future, but it will always be necessary to balance alkaline and acidic foods to keep from relapsing.

Within just the past few weeks this (the facial flushing) has started happening to me quite frequently, and it lasts for pretty much the rest of the day once it occurs. It feels like my face has a fever. I've also noticed that lately I've been having bouts of nausea just as often. Not to mention a touch of vertigo. Yesterday I nearly fell off a stool I was sitting at, and that's the worst I've ever experienced it. And no, I am not pregnant.

With your answer, I was wondering about taking a probiotic won't that help as well?

Plus I think the burning in the face is part of anxiety... I have anxiety really bad and when I "freak out" or having bad anxiety my face tends to feel like its on fire...

I also have the same annoying problem. I often wash my face with cold water to stop it for a little while. I'm usually back to the hot sensation within 5 minutes of cooling off my face. I'm a 31 year old female. I have hypothyroid, and also in June 2009 I had the Essure procedure done. I had both my thyroid glands removed in 2008.

This hot sensation only started a few months ago, but I hate it! I feel crazy because I'm constantly asking my husband if I feel hot (he says I feel fine) or I'm checking my temperature. It's an uncomfortable feeling & extremely annoying.

Anyone else?

I'm experiencing the same thing.. It's been months already and without an answer.. my face would get hot for no reason.. sometimes it spreads to the upper part of my body including my hands and palms. Doctors don't even know what's wrong! And plus I'm a guy, so it's nothing to do with menopause or andropause for that matter! Tried probiotics as well but not much of an effect still.. IT's freaking annoying! My eyes get dry as well as if the feeling of lack of sleep, but I get fairly enough of sleep everyday! I just couldn't find an answer!

I'm experiencing the same thing here!. It's just so annoying.. my face would turn hot for no reason.. I've been to dozens of doctors all without an answer.. Sometimes my eyes would get dry as if it's a feeling of lack of sleep.. but I get fairly enough of sleep everyday.. I just don't seem to understand what's causing all these.. plus I'm also a guy which rules out menopause or andropause for that matter, I'm only at my 20s.. Tried probiotics as well, didn't help, didn't have much of an effect.. and it's been almost a year now! Sick of it!

I am 29 and feel my face is burning! I have noticed it happens when I am excited or worried. So anxiety can be it. It lasts for a while and if I check my temperature it is normal. The color on my face does not change and I do have back pain often. It is annyoing and weird. I live in Mexico so my diet is different.

Tibetan herbal medicine name ""MAN-NYEE"" will make it all gone. Trust me

Hi there.
I think I'm experiencing the same thing and have been trying to do a candida cleanse but am having a very bad time of dealing with the die-off.

I started some Hormone Replacement Therapy back in Sept 2010, ended up on a round of Medrol (prednisone) late Sept for back paing from a herniated disc in lower back, only took the first 3 days. It all went down-hill from there... the experience I had on the prednisone was the worst in my life... the stinging skin, exhausted, freezing cold yet sweating just to name a few symptoms. I lost 7lbs in 1 week and my BP was 160/99 when I got to the Dr. office a week later.

Since then, I would have "flare-ups" now and then that would incapicitate me for a whole day... sick feeling, stinging face, hands, feet, sweats, freezing, etc and finally made the connection that it happened when I took any of my biodentical hormones. In December, I actually had a flare-up taking Ibuprofen and Aspirin and I haven't been able to take either since then without experiencing the burning sensation in my face. I've been doing a yeast cleanse and a better daily diet for about 3 weeks off and on now and I can actually describe it as a burning sensation now instead of stinging so I guess it's getting better?

Sorry this is so long, but I have to say I'm kind of glad to see I'm not the only person with this issue. Now to just get rid of it...

I too have a hot flushed face all the time. I've been to every doctor imaginable and nonone can figure out the problem. I'm healthy as a horse according to everyone.No answer yet.

My husband has been having the same thing. I have look all over the internet and found some other people with the same problem. Some where told be their doctors that it was stress. So they rec-amend others to talk to their doctors about lowering their stress levels. I hope this helps everyone.

I am a male , and facing same issues since last six months, what to do?

Hello - I have had burning sensations on my cheeks since 2011. I believe it started from a mold spore problem in the heating and cooking system at work. I have had leaky gut syndrome in my 20s which is indicative that I am prone to Candida. The problem all but went away for 20 years until now.

The burning cheeks was the first sign. Then I would wake up with a swollen bottom lip. Then swollen lips. Then swollen lips and eyes until my whole face got very swollen and painful. I do not work for the company anymore, but feel that the spores have invaded my system and now I have to very careful with what I eat and drink. For instance, I had one cup of tea this pm ( tea has mold spores) and my cheeks are burning.

I think that Johnkx3 is right. Candida. I have given up wheat, wine, cheese, all condiments and sugar. I limit myself to 1 cup of coffee a day (which also carries spores). This diet prevents my face from painfully blowing up. It is very very hard to be live a normal life on this diet, but it is better than the alternative.

I too have been feeling this for about a year or two now I guess. It usually happens in the afternoon and after lunch. But I don't eat breads and other starches. I'm a vegetable and meat guy. However, I also drink quite a bit of coffee and don't get much sleep, 5-7 hours a day at best.

I try to balance my carbs to proteins 1:1, am a Triathlete and train at least 5 hours a week, sometime as much as 10-15. I'm definitely in shape, aware of my diet, and try to hydrate, but this hot face (not flushed) stuff is getting quite annoying.

I don't feel or think I have any leaky gut issues but again I don't follow the normative American diet.

Looking through this I don't see any actual suggestions or fixes. I can say that my eyesight has gotten substantially worse since it started happening and that I also sometime have tingling in my arms. Perhaps I'm just rotting away inside!

I have leaky gut syndrome and believe I have an imbalance of candida in my body. I have had burning cheeks since January of 2011, on and off. Then my face would blow up and it was all very very painful. I went on a strict diet. NO sugar, wheat, cheese, condiments, vinegar, or nuts. 1 cup of coffee a day ( beans have mold). I ate oats, rice, veggies, fruits, and meat. Sweetened my pumpkin pie made with rice flour crust with honey. STILL burning cheeks. So I tried an anti-anxiety remedy just in case my central nervous system was the culprit. Within 10 minutes relief. My burning cheeks went from a 10 to a 3.

Hi there,

I have been having the same issue (face feels flush, but is not red and my actual temperature is not elevated) for a few weeks now. I've been trying to evaluate what has changed over the last few weeks. I have it narrowed down to just four potential options:

1. chemicals off gassing from a new carpet/carpet adhesive that was installed in my office a few weeks ago.

2. mold that I recently spotted growing in my bathroom

3. stress/reduced sleep: I haven't been getting much sleep lately (4-6 hours/night) - mostly due to stress.

4. allergy sensitivity: I've been noticing that when I drink beer now, I usually get a stuffed/runny nose within minutes of finishing my first beer. I'm guessing it's something in the beer. After reading these threads, I'm wondering if it might be the yeast...

I'm actually headed out the door to the doctor now. Here's for hoping!

Hey JanetDives---

What did your dr say?
I'm having the exact symptoms.

The doctor says they think it's a combination of environmental allergies and exhaustion. She suggested trying anti-histamines and getting a ton of rest (and reducing my exercise load) for a week to see if it helps. If it doesn't, then she wants me to get blood work done... will keep you posted!

Hey there JanetDives :)

Interesting what your doctor said.
I workout with weights and do light cardio 4x /week.
It's been hot here- and even though I workout indoors with the air conditioner on- I still feel very warm/hot.

I haven't worked out for the past 2 days and my face hasn't felt hot at all... hmm

I am waiting on a urine culture for a potential UTI- If I do have that, I wonder if there is a connection. So after I gave my sample, I was on an anti biotic- it was then my face stopped feeling hot along with stopping my workout.

So together with my working out- hot days- and a potential UTI... we'll see.

Weird. I am getting this at the moment and the rest of my body is freezing but my cheeks feel very warm! And I'm not anxious or stressed or angry right now. I was just watching TV when I realized how hot my cheeks were.

And I'm 20 years old so it definitely isn't menopause.

It's quite bizarre really.

Anxiety attacks are an often overlooked cause of this "face fever" (nice description by the way). Of course there are many organic causes but I've suffered from panic disorder for 25 years which has been successfully treated with medication. But recently I started with this flushing and burning of the face (feel like my face is on fire). At this point I have no idea if this is an expression of anxiety, but that's up there on my diagnostic list. The medical sites point to Rosacea but those who I know with that have a chronic reddening; not just episodes of burning and flushing of the face.

I have had this problem for quite a few years now and I have no idea what causes it. My face is always somewhat red but goes redder when I have this hot face problem. I am 64 years old and I am sorry to have to tell you that the problem appears to get worse as I am getting older.

I have the same thing happening to me, does any of you smoke marijuana I've been smoking it for a long time and I increased smoking it and lately it feels like my face is burning when I did my research they sayd tha marijuana can effect your body temperature had to do with your blood.

iI am a 74 yr old who has just started suffering from this hot face drama.
I have and am under a lot of stress. My doctor put me on 1mg of sedative and 1x20 citralopram, Whilst it eases it , it does not cure it. I really feel 90% of us are suffering this due to underlying anxiety and stress we don't realize is happening. Go to your doctor, tell him you want something to calm you, see if that works, I took my first one yesterday and have taken one of each today. It feels a bit better but has not really gone away. I think if it was medical it would stay with us all the time, whereas a lot of us have it OK sometimes and bad the other.
There is so much pressure for young ones today it's a wonder we are even sane.
Develop the habit of not really caring too much about things that really don't matter and when something not too good happens keep saying " this too will pass"
Don't stop searching until you find what the real cause of it is.
Only this way can you live the life you deserve. AND STOP WORRYING, IT MAY NEVER HAPPEN!
