What could be causing my light switch and the wall around it to be hot?

Nothing good. Call an electrician ASAP. Don't touch that light switch.

Could be as simple as a loose connection inside the switch box, and will require an electrician to repair.

Is this a dimmer type switch? Dimmer switches will be warm to the touch when on. How warm depends on the number and size of the lights.
