Question 1

burning sensation on skin of upper arm/shoulder for 2 weeks, but nothing there, skin looks completely normal. no rashes or other symptoms. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Neuropathy: Sounds like a nerve problem, so we'd call it neuropathy. It can be caused by anything damaging a nerve. Shingles or herpes can do this, but if it has been going on for 2 weeks I'd expect there to be spots or bumps or something showing on the skin by now. It can also be caused by your immune system attacking the nerve or by the nerve being pinched in your spine or elsewhere. See your doc for help.

Question 2

spontaneously red rashes on skin, itching and burning sensation ?

Accepted Answer

Rashes: I am very fond of telling people that the main tool that a dermatologist has to use in his or her practice is their eyeballs! that means that you should have this problem looked at by dermatologist personally. It is so important to get the correct physical description of the lesions which can be done really professionally by a dermatologist and rarely by other physicians.

Question 3

i have a burning sensation on my pinky between the middle joint and upper joint. it is only in that skin area, there are no rashes?

Accepted Answer

Watch closely: Watch for redness or change in skin texture.

Question 4

i am experiencing  rash on face and burning sensation. the following also describe me: skin redness or irritation, skin rash, and pimples. what?

Accepted Answer

Skin rash: Possibly rosacea or a combination of acne and rosacea.

Question 5

i've used topical/oral antifungals(azoles) with no complete resolution of burning sensation in my groins, enlarged lymph nodes and skin rash. ?

Accepted Answer

Groin rash: Having enlarged lymph nodes suggests the problem wasn't a yeast or fungal infection to begin with. And there are plenty of other causes for rash like this. At this point you should stop attempts at self-treatment and see a doctor. Good luck!

Question 6

use monistat for vaginal itching, skin rash (quality: itchiness, blisters, crusty, red or bluish purple) , burning sensation, vaginal irritation?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal rash: Be checked. Your description of blisters would make you worry about herpes. The treatment for this is medication. All the best.

Question 7

Paresthesia: Paresthesia refers to a burning or prickling sensation that is usually felt in the hands, arms, legs, or feet, but can also occur in other parts of the body. The sensation, which happens without warning, is usually painless and described as tingling or numbness, skin crawling, or itching.Chronic paresthesia is often a symptom of an underlying neurological disease or traumatic nerve damage.

Question 8

above my hipbone i have a patch of skin where i get a burning sensation, there is no rash/red. the sensation comes and goes and is on top of my skin?

Accepted Answer

Above hip bone?: This is not a location that we can depend on your anatomic localization.  However, most burning sensations anywhere are caused by pinched nerves; so be sure you are not wearing something or doing anything that might put pressure on the area.  Good luck to you!
