Specializes in Internal Medicine

Burning sensation: possible causes could be a neuropathy like a trigeminal neuralgia. If you have a skin lesion, and burning sensation, this also could be a herpetic rash. If it involves around the eye orbit, this is an emergent condition and you need to go to the hospital quickly.
