Hot Sensation
As with any inflammation, there will certainly be some warm feeling around the inflamed area. Heat, then, gets transferred to your skin like a fever or a hot flash. The skin will feel hot and especially where it is red. However, once the swelling goes down, the feeling of heat will also subside.
Thus, placing something cold like an ice pack over the area can help alleviate the feeling faster and bring the inflammation down. So if gout is something you deal with, then keeping a pack of crushed ice in your freezer is essential, so that whenever gout hits, wrap the pack with a towel and apply it for 30 mins. In addition to that, make sure you drink enough water as it helps flush the uric acid out of the body and lowers the risk of accumulating stones in the kidney. With that being said, you should be drinking around 16 cups of beverages a day, of which at least half is water.
