Skin Sensitivity

Wondering what co-infection or if anyone else experiences skin sensitivity. It just started happening in certain parts of body. Right now it’s my inside leg, palms of hands, feet and a spot on my back. It feels raw. Like it’s been rubbed with sandpaper.

Thank you

Ok so definite symptom. It’s so weird. But I guess that’s safe to say all is weird with this disease. Thanks for the response countingstarsx

Bartonella is notorious for causing issues like that. I get spots on my inner thigh and on my back that are incredibly sensitive. just the pants rubbing them make me want to yell my tests were positive for Bartonella hensalae and the MD is sure that that is what is causing that issue.

Hey there!

When I first started having major symptoms in 2009, various skin symptoms were prominent. I felt like I had heat trapped in my skin. Felt like a sunburn except it felt like the heat was moving from the inside of my tissue out through my skin instead of from the surface of my skin inward. My face, chest, and back were affected. It was late fall, and that whole winter I couldn't stand to wear long sleeves. Just the thought of wearing a turtleneck or pullover sweater made me feel like I would break out in hives or have a panic attack.

I've had other bouts of skin sensitivity, too, that didn't involve heat. I agree with the others. I believe Bartonella is what causes this. Bartonella is well known for causing all manner of skin phenomena.
