Burning sensations on the skin could indicate a number of underlying medical conditions. Burning usually originates in the topmost layer of the skin, called the epidermis. This sensation may occur as a result of contact dermatitis, inflammation, nerve damage, and sometimes even cancer. Therefore, it is important to hasten to the doctor for a professional diagnosis and treatment. Contact dermatitis is probably the most common cause of burning sensations on the skin and is usually an allergic reaction to something the skin comes into contact with. Common contact allergens include jewelry, plant materials, rubber, fragrances, soaps, and dyes. If the burning sensation and redness occur directly after exposure to something, then contact dermatitis is likely the culprit. An antihistamine may help relieve burning and itching if allergies are the root cause. Inflammatory conditions like eczema, psoriasis, hives and acne can also produce burning sensations on the skin. These conditions are typically accompanied by swelling, redness, and often itching. They may require the use of moisturizers and topical corticosteroids to reduce the inflammation and relieve the burning. Nerve damage caused by fibromyalgia, spinal cord injuries, shingles, and carpal tunnel syndrome may also trigger burning sensations without any signs of inflammation or contact dermatitis. Rarely, burning sensations may be a sign of skin cancer. In this case, the burning sensation is usually chronic and accompanied by itching, swelling, and discoloration of the affected area. If skin cancer is suspected, it is important to seek medical attention for a diagnosis and treatment. In conclusion, a burning sensation on the skin can indicate any number of medical conditions. In any case, it is important to let the doctor know as soon as possible in order to receive the correct diagnosis and treatment.
