What causes skin to feel like it is burning? - #60979
I am dealing with this really annoying burning skin sensation, and it’s making me crazy! Like, a few weeks ago, I started feeling this weird burning feeling on my abdomen, and then it spread to my arms and sometimes even my face. I thought maybe it was just sunburn or something, but I haven't even been outside that much. Just a few days ago, I noticed it feels like my skin is on fire, but there's no visible rash or anything. It’s so frustrating! I have looked online and read about how autoimmune diseases can cause a burning skin sensation, and now I'm kinda worried. Could this be something serious? I don’t think I have any other symptoms, just this stupid burning every so often. Is there a specific virus that could make your skin feel like it's burning? Like, I’m curious if it could be something as simple as an allergy or if I should be considering some deeper issues. I’m also wondering why my skin feels like it’s burning but there’s no actual heat. It's so confusing! I could really use some advice from all you Ayurvedic doctors on this. What are some remedies or approaches you recommend for burning skin sensation? Any help would be amazing!
