Burning Skin

[Slumbag]

Hey Doc.

My skin hurts. It feels like I have dry skin all over, but it doesn't look that way. It actually looks completely normal. Not one visible mark to be had. But it feels like it's burning or something. It started on my stomach a few days back , and has now moved up to my armpit, and down to one of my feet. The feeling is starting to spread across my back, too.

It's livewithable, but it's kind of annoying.

"Burning" pain in the skin is often a sign of pain originating from nerve endings, or so-called "Neuropathic" pain.

If it was confined to one side of your body and one area in particular, it could be early shingles, but yours has spread far and wide.

I would need to know if you're on any medications, or if you have diabetes or anything like that, or if you've been exposed to any chemicals lately that might be the culprit (even stuff as benign as BenGay can cause a temporary skin discomfort).

Let me know and we'll delve further into it.

I totally forgot I posted this.
I went to the doctor that morning actually, cause a rash broke out.
It was shingles, and it fucking sucked.


Thanks Doc.
