Brief Answer:
A Number of causes

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns...

If you mean that your face turns red and hot for a temporary period of time and then returns back to its normal complexion then this could be due to hyperthyroidism which can be diagnosed by a blood test for thyroid hormonal profile including T3, T4, and TSH ...

Another possible cause can be systemic lupus which can be diagnosed by a blood test for anti lupus antibodies or ANA test...

If these causes are excluded then it could be due to panic attacks especially if it occurs in response to a stressful condition...

Please discuss these options with your physician...

I hope you find this helpful...

Regards
