What Causes Redness On The Face And Arms?
My husband face and arms look red and very dark and I didn t know if I should have his blood checked. He has colitis and is on regular medicine for it and is having a flare up and he also has primary progressive aphasia so he cant really tell me how he feels. He does not have a temperature

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
I have read and understood your concern.
Redness on face and arms may be cause by a number skin conditions like
-Skin/soft tissue infection of bacterial or fungal origin
-Sun burns
-Skin irritation/allergy
I will suggest you take him to a Dermatologist for examination.Only a keen examination of the lesions by the Doctor may help to know the possible cause.Your Doctor will judge if there is a need for blood check.
Hope this will help.You may write back if more concerns
Best regards
Dr Mbuomboh
