Dry hot flashes

73 year old male, good health, about once a month I have these dry hot flashes with itch, hot red skin especially on the head and face but also over the chest and arms, slightly upset stomach, about 10 min duration.  These can occur anytime during the day.  Diet--probably high in sugar, some soy milk, veggies, nuts, whole grains, high sodium at times. No sweating associated.  No breathing difficulties.

ask your doctor if you can be refferd to a dermatologist because you may be suffering with dermatitis or exma. you certanly have a problem with your skin and when it comes to the skin a dermatolagist is what you want because they specialize in the skin. good luck.
