FAQs
What causes a burning sensation in the skin without a rash?
A burning sensation in skin without a rash is often due to nerve irritation or neuropathy rather than an external skin problem. Factors like diabetes, vitamin deficiency, or stress can be possible causes.
Why do I feel a burning sensation in my hands and feet at night?
A burning sensation in hands and feet at night commonly stems from nerve compression, poor circulation, or conditions such as diabetic neuropathy. Nighttime symptoms may worsen due to decreased distractions and lying down, which impacts blood flow.
Is burning sensation a symptom of psoriasis?
Yes, some people with psoriasis experience a burning sensation in skin because inflammation and scaling irritate the nerve endings. However, burning alone is not always an indicator of psoriasis and other causes should also be considered.
Which Ayurvedic treatments help with burning sensation in the body?
Ayurveda treatments for burning sensation, such as lepa, seka, virechana, dhara etc, aim to cool the body, improve digestion, and balance the internal environment. Proper guidance from an experienced practitioner is recommended for lasting results.
