Signs and Symptoms - Skin Flushing (Redness of the Skin)

Dehydration may cause a person to flush, which is to say that they become markedly red in the face and often other areas of the skin. Flushing is generally distinguished from blushing, which is milder and generally restricted to the face or cheeks. Blushing is also generally assumed to reflect embarrassment. Flushing on the other hand, can be caused by numerous factors and is a cardinal symptom of carcinoid syndrome - the syndrome that results from hormones (often serotonin or histamine) being secreted into systemic circulation.
