Allergies, Asthma Answer A1505

According to the symptoms you report (a pink rush that spreads from behind ears to neck and forearms), you might be experiencing an allergic reaction. Allergic reactions represent a strong immune response to various substances from food, drugs, air, cosmetics, clothes, etc. Some viral infections like measles or rubella, although less possible options, should be also considered.
