A member asked:

What can i do to get my hand to stop burning?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hand surgeon: A burning sensation in the hands can represent many problems. Irritation of the skin from dryness or chemicals can be treated topically with lotion. Neuropathy from nerve compression or diabetes are both common. These could be assessed by seeing a hand surgeon and getting a nerve conduction test (ncs/emg).
