Do hot flushes cause face redness and flushing?

Yes, hot flushes commonly cause noticeable redness and flushing of the face, neck, and sometimes chest, due to increased blood flow to the skin.

Clinical Context

Facial flushing can be distressing, especially in public or work settings. Strategies like cool packs, hydration, and loose clothing may help reduce redness and discomfort.

Evidence-Based Approaches

NHS and NICE highlight facial flushing as a hallmark of menopausal hot flushes. See NICE menopause guidance.
