Are you taking niacin as a supplement, or are you taking peparations that contain niacin? You may be overdosing. Oddly, a typical sign of niacin overdose is the sensation of heat or burning in the face, and is called Niacin Flush. It can affect parts of the body other than the face. Either way, check what you are taking, and let your primary care physician know about the symptom. You may be overdoing other supplements without knowing it. Niacin Flush by itself isn't cause for alarm, but it can be very uncomfortable.
