Flashes- Has anyone heard of this?

HI,
My son Trevor was diagnosed with VSAA in march had ATG and is currenly on cyclosporin. He recently started to have his left arm and leg turn red and get very hot. He described it like frost bite when your hands are so cold it burns if you run it under water. The Dr told him it was Flashes. I looked up flashes and could only find hot flashes which doesnt seem to apply.

Unfortunatly my son is in prison and he has limited access to the hemotologist , no specialist in AA and a prison Dr who knows nothing about AA. Any idea on what that response may be. Im concerned the prison is giving him the cheepest blood they can find and may be having some effect.
