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.
