@rwinney and everyone yes I got p.n. in hands and feet 2016 after taking a quinolone medication NORFLOX, about ten days after finishing this antibiotic for a simple uti; also have a laundry list of non life threatening lillnesses; narrow angle glaucoma; ocular migraines; hypothyroid - had goitre and right side removed; and cancer cervix 1985 so have not has as much as some people but more than others.... and a sprinkling of anxiety and depression. Tonight the right side of face, neck, top of shoulder and r. top of chest burning like there's no tomorrow .... slightly flushed. The nurse didnt know whether to send me to dermatologist or neurologist and I said dermatologist as local, but have to wait til JAN. and its been like this almost 4 months... I should have said neurologist as have seen him out of town once and two zoom meetings over the years. It is surprising how much this hurts, the burning and lasts for hours... I did google Erythromelalgia and also Carcinoid Syndrome but really have no idea...tomorrow annual bloodwork at Clinic and I may ask if any nurse free but I doubt it. also they don't know what it is anyway. I MAY go to emerge if only to be able to see a doctor who may know what this is.... hate going when its not really an emergency but where I live if I go and its not an emergency they just leave us til the end, so can take a cushion, sandwich and book...will decide tomorrow. Also have a rash for last 3 months you can barely see but I can feel, over top of chest, side of neck and behind ears.... I know you cannot diagnoze on this site but sure would like to know if anyone else has this burning face and area! Thanks for the advice. No, not on pain meds as nurse doesnt now what it is.... etc. 🌹🌹🌹

@lacy2 Hello there. That burning must be driving you nuts! How about contacting your neurologist, like you mentioned? Perhaps they can see you sooner than dermatology in January.

I would like to introduce you to my fellow mentor, Chris @artscaping. She is well versed in neuropathy and some skin conditions. I'm hoping she may weigh in with thoughts or suggestions for you as you wait to see doctors.

Did you end up going to the emergent care? It's not a bad idea if you are hoping to get started with some answers. Maybe I missed this, but are you not on nerve medication for your neuropathy?
