Flushing and sweating at the hairline can be a symptom of lymphoma. Cancer cells can release chemicals that trigger sweating, and this can show up in specific areas of the body rather than all over. A MyLymphomaTeam member shared a similar experience, noting a rash at the back of their neck near the hairline that would become intensely itchy when they sweated at night.
This type of localized sweating or flushing is something worth mentioning to your care team, especially if it's new or getting worse. They can help determine if it's related to your lymphoma, your treatment, or something else entirely.

- Wearing breathable, natural fabrics like cotton
- Avoiding spicy foods, caffeine, alcohol, and sugary drinks
- Staying well hydrated
- Keeping your environment cool
