Question 1

burning face then bumpy dry rash, should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Hard to tell: The question is too non-specific to give us any clue.  You should consult your doctor re. This.

Question 2

red burning face while on steroids what can i take to stop it?

Accepted Answer

Burning face: This is actually an adverse effect related to the steroid medication.  As long as it is not seriously uncomfortable it is not necessarily doing any harm--just annoying.

Question 3

woke up with eyes swollen. they are burning, face is red?

Accepted Answer

Go see ur Family Doc: Clearly you need to be evaluated more so than any of use can offer you in 400 characters. Allergic reaction? Skin infection? Pink eye doesn't usually make face red. Sun burn? Bottom line, you need to be evaluated in person. If you can't wait to see your Family Doc, go to Urgent Care or local ER. Good luck!

Question 4

20 year old male sick to stomach eyes burning face feels tingly lot of pressure in head ?

Accepted Answer

Office visit: While every physician would consider a migraine equivalent, based on what you have told me it would seem most important, now, to rule out a serious intracranial process.  Your physician knows how to check for leaking berry aneurysm, meningitis, and neoplasm.  Please don't delay.

Question 5

burning face pain - bilateral. no diagnosis. taking gabapentin. doesn't always work. can i use lidocaine ointment usp 5% on my face? thank you.

Accepted Answer

Diagnosis!: “diagnosis” is defined as identifying the nature or cause of something. Without a diagnosis, its just a guessing game. You can use Lidocaine patch 5%;  applying the prescribed number of patches, usually only once a day for up to 12 hours or as directed by your treated doctor.
Rec see pain management or orofacial pain specialist for diagnosis and medication adjustment.

Question 6

my 15 year old girlfriend is taking warfarin for a blood clot and has burning face, dehydration, shivering, loss of appetite. what does this mean ?

Accepted Answer

Shivering and: loss of appetite in a 15 year old girl can be due to a kidney infection especially if preceded by burning on urination or associated with flank / back pain. The burning in the face may be a manifestation of a fever (check temperature). It would be appropriate to see a doctor or at least discuss these symptoms with the doctor who placed her on the coumadin (warfarin).

Question 7

diagnosed w/ fibromylagia in 06. symptoms are burning in face and ears during accutane. symptoms went away on their own, but are back now. why?

Accepted Answer

Unclear: It is not clear whether your "Fibromyalgia" &amp;/or facial region discomforts are concurrent with Accutane use. Side effects of headaches, muscle/joint/low back pain, &amp; depression can occur with use of Accutane, and these symptoms are also signature symptoms of Fibromyalgia. Burning facial pain, as an isolated symptom, would more likely be from Accutane.

Question 8

can a cellulite body lotion be prescribed for skin of the face(hypersensitive, pron to redness, sensitive to uv radiation) without burning the face?

Accepted Answer

No: First of all, there are no cellulite cream that work and none that are prescribed. Now that we have answered that, find something that does work for your face or condition of your face. Visit a reputable dermatologist and get some answers.
Good luck from nyc.

Question 9

on doxy 150bid for acne. runner. using high spf sunscreen and hat but still burning on face/ neck. doxy working well , what can i do ?

Accepted Answer

Photosensitivity: Erythromycin can be used to treat acne. It doesn't cause photosensitivity. It can irritate the stomach. I recommend having a baseline EKG first to make sure you don't have a prolonged QT interval as erythromycin can prolong the QT interval and increase the susceptibility to dangerous cardiac dysrhythmias especially if your QT interval is already prolonged.

Question 10

does tmd cause tingling and burning in face and head (above and behind ear)? got no help from gp, dentists, oral surgeons, ent, and neurologists.

Accepted Answer

Possibly: But this is not the usually affected area.  Have you seen an Orthodontic Specialist to evaluate your occlusion?  Malocclusion often associated w TMD.
