burning skin. how to make it go away?

a few weeks, after the hives had finally gone away, i had places on my arms (fairly large areas) that when touched felt like a burning sensation which hurts a lot.  today it's back (along with my pink face).  is it possible for something like tylenol to help with this or a cream even?

thanks!

lupus, or something like it.

my rhumey just it's sensitive skin but is moves around on my arms, the skin looks okay, hasn't been exposed to the sun or anything it just burns when anything touches it, even very lightly.
and i think my rhumey doesn't know lupus from a hole in the ground.

Hey Jessica,

I get that too.  I've been told it's either neuralgia or fibromyalgia.  Like Babs, I use a cold cloth or have a cool bath. That works for me. Hope it goes away soon for ya.

My skin gets rashes and the burning sensation like how you describe. It was red, raw, and just painful. A cool washcloth helps temporarily, but I had to get a prescription medicine tetracycline and prescription cream to help. And I've been on it for a few months now and it's the only thing that cleared up my rashes. My skin is still pink and red sometimes, but the burning sensation and welts/blisters are gone.

I suggest discussing it with your rheumy or going in to see a dermatologist. Over the counter creams or lotions didnt work for me.

I hope you feel better soon!
