My hot flashes ( and they are not just flashes but sometimes long lasting) started at the same time as my body pain so mine is not prednisone related.
My face feels like it is burning but is not red and there is no sweat involved. I find I can keep it at bay by keeping the ac on very low and using ceiling fans.

Hi @bren2023 & @vjs
I just wanted you to both know that I had significant facial warm spells before my PMR diagnosis and prednisone, so it may be part of the disease. I remember feeling like I was getting the flu or something in addition to my hip and shoulder pain but I never developed the flu. I even remember taking my temperature several days and it was slightly elevated. My rheumatologist told me that was part of his cue to test for PMR. I hope that info is helpful. Blessings!

Hi,

Yes, every early evening I have facial hot flashes. Last a couple of hours then thankfully goes away.

Thanks for posting!
