Don't know whether you all notice this: when we are having stomach-ache (abdominal pain), our belly is cold when we touch it with our hand.

 

This is how parents know whether their baby is having a stomach-ache when they cry.

 

Can any med expert explain why this is so?

 

Also, I am just wondering what about other aches? say, head-ache, heart-ache...will the skin of the related area be cold as well?
