I'm feeling warm all the time, but I don't have a fever. It's odd, and I'm not sure what's causing it. What could be the reason for this?

This can be caused by various underlying issues such as infections, inflammation, thyroid disorders, or certain medications. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I've been getting these rash-like marks on my skin, especially on my arms and legs, mostly in the mornings when I wake up and in the evenings. They really look like mosquito bites, and they're showing up in multiple spots. It's starting to worry me. What should I do about it?
