Burning patches on hands and arm

[Ron1743]

I have burning patches just below my elbow and on the back of one hand and the knuckle on the other hand.
The patches feel as if they are about the size of a quarter. There is no visable changes to the skin at all.  It has been like this for several months and has not changed during that time.

Any Idea what is causing this and a remedy for this condition.

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my question.  I will schedule an appointment with a local dermatologist.

Sincerely,

Ron

Hello,
One of the possibilities for your symptoms is of neurodermatitis. Neurodermatitis develops when nerve endings in the skin become irritated, triggering a severe itch-scratch-itch cycle. Common causes of nerve irritation include an insect bite and emotional stress. I suggest you to get an examination done from a dermatologist of the symptoms persist.  The other possibility which needs to be ruled out is of parasthesia skin.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
