Burning sensation of the skin? That is a side-effect of most serotonergic ADs. The skin uses about as much serotonin as the brain. It usually does ease after a while, but as with everything about ADs, this isn't a guarantee. The fact it has diminished in recent weeks improves the odds.
One other thing to be aware of is these meds increase skin photo sensitivity so apply sun block to exposed skin if going outdoors for extended periods.
