 [ Symptoms ] i have no fever but my skin feels hot what does that mean  this usally happens mid day and what happens is the core of my body gets hot my skin is hot to the touch and i feel as though the sun is shining from the inside of my body outwards it is very frusterating because no matter if i turn the ac on or run ice over my skin in a few minutes the same inner hot feeling comes back [ Disease ] i am sorry you are going through this and that it is concerning you the skin is an amazing organ one thing it does is function as sort of a radiator for the body in the sense that blood vessels in the skin is surface become enlarged to release heat when the core of the body gets too warm this engorgement of the blood vessels in the skin can cause flushing a red appearance and may make the skin feel hot the body releases excess heat this way in order to avoid overheating the core i guess my question would be why is your body getting so hot at midday is it because you are exercising for example are you going through menopause and experiencing hot flashes or do you just get unbearably hot at the same time every day our body temperature tends to fluctuate throughout the day but if you are getting uncomfortably hot every day at the same time with no known cause it would be worth discussing this with your doctor at your next visit i mean it sounds as if your body is functioning normally your core gets hot so your skin releases the heat but perhaps there is some underlying cause for this that should be checked out i wish you all the best with this i have a question for you do you have a hard time sweating or perspiring the purpose of sweating is to keep our bodies from overheating over the years i have found that since i have a problem sweating my body has no way of releasing the heat and therefore anyone that comes to hug and kiss my cheek always ask me why i feel sooooo hot or like i have a fever when i do not the heat is trapped inside not being able to sweat is known as anhidrosis research it and ask your doctor if this could be your issue i have also found that i have an issue with dehydration and when i drink the amount of water needed for my body weight then it helps reduce my inner heat as well as benefits me in other healthy ways hope this helps this is exactly what happens in a condition recognized by chinese medicine call empty heat or empty fire the clinical manifestations of empty heat in general irrespective of organ are   a feeling of heat in the afternoonevening   a dry mouth with desire to drink in small sips   malar flush red cheekbones   a dry throat at night   a feeling of heat in the chest and palms and soles also called a5 palm heat@   dry stools   scanty dark urine   a floating empty and rapid pulse   a red tongue without coating  <link> applying cold to the outside like air conditioning will only keep the internal heat inside of your body see the url above for more
