Help! Turning red o.o

[Agnostic Bear]

Right, this started last night, I was sitting here just messing about on the pc when I noticed my lower arms and lower legs starting to turn red, I went to bed, woke up, and it's like... really bad

My arms and legs are now completely red with blotchy bits in places, the top of my hands and feet are blotchy red and it's just starting to go on my fingers, I think it's causing them to swell a little bit.

Anyone had this before or know what it is?

Also, it's really hot, like sunburn, but it isn't, cause I don't go in the sun.

Its hot because its the blood going towards the skin [vasodilation] where the capaleries open up to let blood closer to the skin to cool the body I think its to cool anyway...

But It wouldent really explain why youve gone red for no reason...
Maybe its hot becuase you have a fever and your body is fighting an infection?

Dunno... Doesnt sound like it is going to kill you... See if it goes down in a couple of days and if it doesnt then go and ask your doctor or go into a walk in clinic or something.

I'd go and see a doctor about that especially if it carries on. I can't say though it's something I've experienced myself..

NHS Direct

Hmm, meninjitous? I can't spell but you know.
Try rolling a glass cup over the "blotchy bits" and if you can still see them you have it.

Then phone your doctor straight away.

Try the tumbler alternative like zuar said.
