Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Could Cause Excessive Sweating, Red Face And Forearms, Rough And Dry Skin And Facial Edema?
For 4 years I have suffered from excessive sweating with slightest activity/heat. My face turns red,more on the left than right and my forearms do the same. There is a significant difference in surface body heat on the 2 sides. Also, the texture of my face and forearms has become more rough with increased cherry angiomas and dryness. The redness also causes facial edema and lasts for hours. What is going on?
