Burning skin...

First, spend the money on CeraVe' Soap, it's at the drug store, for your hands and the shower...

Also, a 24 hour antihistamine, Allegra is the best then Zyrtec then Clariton, take any of the 3 that you can tolerate.

Also, stay out of the heat, bright light bulbs, cover your self with a light shirt and pants.... a hat but you do not need to get heated like sweating....

Also, taking, comfortably cool showers, not hot or cold, will help but wash with the CeraVe to rehydrate your skin....

Also, buy a water purifier for your tap water...

In the last two months I've met my high insurance deductibles and I've been going to every Emory specialist in Atlanta to figure these pieces of the puzzle out so I hope this helps.... here's more gathered info...

Your T cells are probably out of wack, your immune system... my story may help...

My allergist - immunologist has attempted to block the leukotrienes, the things that get to the skin that causes the burning sensation with Singulair 4 xs a day with Zyflo CR, I can't take the Zyflo CR, because these meds effect some peoples emotions incl. me apparently.... but taking the higher dose of Singulair  has brought some relief....

I'm not a doc but I've been to many trying to get mystery burning of the skin and rashes figured out incl. a dbl ear infection and EVERY doc that the dbl. Singulair and Zyflo was a Brilliant idea....

Also, eating gluten free, non-spicy, no processed, only olive oil cooked foods if possible, high omeg-3 such as walnuts and eating very health organic food with Kefer to drink (a yogart drink found in the dairy section helps digestion of the walnuts), a gummy multi vitamin 2xday (easy to digest, has everything in it or do good ol' Flinstone vitamins, docs even give them to pregnant women to take), 1 Magnesium vitamin and flax seed vitamin 2xday to help balance out the immune system...

God bless, keep the faith...

Is this after being in the sun?  If so try using a sunscreen, the higher amt of protection the better.
