Hello,
Monitor the conditions surrounding this occurance. Contact dermatitis, airborne irritants, insect contact or a chill may cause this reaction. Even if it occurs while you are seated close to an air vent. See if you can relate this to any activity. Trace your steps prior to the occurrence. Look for recent changes in clothing, personal products, diet, etc. How about driving in a car and having more sun exposure to one side than another?
Start Simple and if the condition continues, you need to see your general doctor for an exam and basic blood tests. Circulation could be a concern.
I hope you are able to locate the source of your reaction and that my suggestions are useful. Thank you for your inquiry.
