I get "flares" of burning or painful skin mostly at night. I wear snug "cuddle duds" and thin snug socks when I go to bed. The snugness of the clothing is tight enough it doesn't rub on my skin - it is more like an outer protective skin, so I don't feel the sheets touching, At times my hair touching my hands or wrists would hurt - even just air from my nose exhaling would hurt my hands. When this is happening I will put on light weight cotton gloves.
The cuddle duds I wear are the thinner ones, so I still wear them during the summer months too.
If I'm having bad flares during the day I take gabapentin (I am aware of all the bad reviews on it, so I take it as infrequently as I can).
