Does touching your forehead with your hand really let you know if you have a fever?

Isn't the temperature supposed to be even all over your body? If it is not, why not?

Update:

No, no, I mean like, diagnose oneself.

    It can't exactly give you an exact temperature (obviously), but you can tell if the person does have a fever. Use the back of your hand and place it on their forehead. If your hand gets warm or hot, they have a fever. As for your other question, I have no idea. Sorry
