Cheeks Become Red And Hot At Different Points, Peels Like Sunburn, Elevated CSF. Is Hydrocephalus The Cause ?

Hi, I am a 27 year old female with multiple health problems due to possible Cusing's or MEN type 1. Since I just graduated and have been without insurance the Dr.'s including Endocrinologists stopped seeing me 3 years ago until I could get insurance. I am actively looking for a job but it will be at least 2 months until I get insurance. Bottom line is I have two symptoms which are fairly new and was wondering what you thought.
1) At different points my cheeks become so red and hot that the temperature of my cheeks reaches up to 106, while my body temp is 96.4. After this happens within 24 hours my cheeks actually peel like a sunburn.
2) I have a slightly elevated CSF (at different periods) and the Dr.'s said this was what ws causing my migraines. I do not have migraines all of the time. However, when I have them they stay around for 1-3 months. I do take fieorcett for them and it kind of helps. Since the migraines began 7 years ago, whenever I have those periods where they are constant, I get a indent where the crown of my head is and if I place a little pressure on that spot it eases off the migraine, but the spot goes away when the migraines do. My question on this one is: is this due to the hydrocephalus causing pressure on my skull?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Hydrocephalus is not likely to cause the red cheeks and peeling off like a sunburn. You can get an MRI scan done to detect any pressure changes caused by the increased CSF.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
