What Causes Redness And Hotness On The Ears?
Outside of my ears suddenly turned bright red and hot, then my arms, neck legs all started getting very hot and tingly. This happened about 2 weeks ago with the same symptoms. And then I got violently sick and threw up. Any ideas.? it all passed in about an hour and then I was feeling fine. I was just sitting down , no activity when all this occurred.

Hello,
It can be a local inflammation.
As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
