I am used to weird ME symptoms but this is a new one for me.

The skin on my arm around my elbow and area up the arm and down the arm a few inches occasionally goes bright red and absolutely red hot to the touch. It doesn’t itch, doesn’t hurt, doesn’t do anything but be hot and red. It lasts a few hours mainly and it’s occurring a few times a week.

I don’t think it is an allergy because I am completely bedridden and this part of my arm doesn’t touch anything. My feet do go bright red and hot sometimes which I have been told is autonomic problems but this is a random patch of arm and I wondered if people got this symptom or knew a likely explanation?

Maybe erythromelalgia? This often affects the feet, but other parts of the body can be affected too.

Hope you get some answers soon.
