Question : On the right side of my temple there is redness (about 2 in. long, 1 in. wide) . it feels warm to the touch and my veins are protruding and pulsing. Any danger in that. Nothing happened such as a bug bite or bump or anything. My beautician actually noticed it.

Brief Answer:
Single patch is not concerning

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Did the beautician notice after her work on you or before that? Is there itching? Do you have visual blurring or headache?

One red patch does not say anything about dangers. Some bug bites may not be noticed or go without any mark. Some allergens could be cause which might be during your beautician visit. Nothing to say about pulsing veins as it can happen in high BP persons, migraineurs.

Closely watch it grow before you visit a doctor for exact cause.
