red skin patches

for the past few weeks i have ex perienced red patches on my cheeks. - not itchy but hot. I have PPMS diagnosed in 2012 so no treatment prescribed other than topical to cool skin is this a sympton of MS?





  1. Hi, CommunityMember17ffc8! I'm sorry you're dealing with these red patches on your skin. I cannot provide any medical diagnosis, for your safety. That said, skin sensations (itching, burning, tingling, etc) are pretty common with MS. However, the fact that you have visual indications on your skin makes me wonder if your issue is not directly related to your MS. You may ask for a referral to a dermatologist or have a talk with your doctor about what could be causing this problem. Best, Erin, MultipleSclerosis.net Team Member.
