Burning Sensation in Skin

[springblossom]

Hi guys,

I constantly have a feeling that my skin is burning up, but I have no rash and when I ask someone to feel it they tell me it doesn't feel excessivley hot. Is this anxiety?

Does anyone else get this? If so, I'd love to hear from you here on the board or by PM .

Thank you!!

SB

I have been having it I think u replied to one of my posts, it is freaking me out but I come on here & see others have it. It is anxiety easy for me to say to you! PM me we can talk it out since we both are going threw it right now! I have been to my Drs and nuero and both said it was most likely anxiety. And when I really think about it I can not think of anything else it could be.

Thank you for the replies.

Shanlynn I'll PM you.

Me too, but with me it is just when I lean against a surface or warm air is trapped in between my clothes. It is like my skin is more sensitive to heat, but is not sensitive in itself. If I move to a cooler surface or lean forward it immediately subsides. I am hoping that mine is just anxiety and perhaps dry skin caused by all this artificial heat in the house during the winter. It is freaking me out too!!!

If it's anxiety why is it still there when we are relaxed?

That is something I do not understand eihter. But I did suffer badly with derealization and it was there at all times for me like a constant until I stopped thinking about it and then SLOWLY it began to lift. I am hoping it is the same with the burning.
Does you burning move around? Mine is all around my lower body or my whole lower body.

See my post above ours anxiety cause physical symptoms constantly. I got an incrediable response that really made sense to me. Check it out.

So are you thinking that the focusing on the symptom is perpetuating it?

SB where is ur burning? Mine is feet lower body? I felt worse today when I was driving in the car but it was a long trip with not much to do but THINK. I had in my head that it would start in the car and it did.
Yes I think thinking about it "feeds" it and once we stop "feeding" it it will SLOWLY go away. It will not happen over night!
