Regarding the hot flashes and skin pinching  , those two complaints can result from many different conditions , to be mentioned later, Generally we recommend repeating the full blood count in 2 weeks , using cold water or ice compressors , and the cream diphenhydramine to relive the itching . if the case is a female aged older than 50 years , you probably need to see a gyneclogist urgently to prescribe you the best hormonal therapy
