What Causes Cold Sweats And Flushing?

I just turned 50 last year And I have been feeling strange since January. I get cold and then break into a sweat for no reason. I don t have much energy. I have been experiencing itching around the genital area, and over the last month I broke out in a rash. The dr. Put me on an antibiotic for a sinus infection in Early March. That seemed to help me get back a little energy for a little while. Then I had a problem with some scar tissue in my abdominal area. The dr. Ordered a C-scan with contrast. I took the contrast on 4/16-17, thescan was on 4/17. On 4/18 the rash started. I thought it was heat rssh. The rash continued to spread. I had minor surgery on abdominal area. 4/21. Dr removed some of the scar tissue. Surgeon put me on Duricef 500mg. By 4/23 the rash had spread down the tops of my legs over most of my torso area and down the inside of my arms. Dr. Put me on steroids & benedrill. Rash cleared up. But hot flashes have started back up again and lack of energy and itching in genital area. Any clue what is going on?

Hi Dear
Went through your history you have elobrated it nicely but one thing which you haven't mentioned is your gender, if you are a female the hot flushs with cold sweating is a feature of menopause at this age.
