Not sure whats going on anymore with all my symptoms.

Recently my skin bemomes really hot and feels like its burning.

I got someone to straighten my hair today and the heat from my hair set off this burning to my skin. Iv had my hair straightened many many times and this has not happened before.

Any ideas please

Hi Yorkshire Girl

I can't help very much as it could be down to so many things. The time I had burning skin I was told it could have been the capillaries that were inflamed. It was only on one ankle through not all over my skin. Have you mentioned it to your consultant? If it is happening regularly it might be worth getting medical advice.

Good luck

Dear Yorkshiregirl,

Probably a 'silly point' but were the tongs notched any hotter than normal? Just occurs to me that you could spend an awful long time trying to find an answer when, in fact, a simple one may exist. Only a thought.

I too have had odd symptoms, a bit like your myself, no-one really knows why exactly, might be worth 'mentioning' to your consultant/doctor mind.

Anyway good luck, let me (us all) know how you get on, will you?
