Brief Answer:
Skin/neurological/spikes in bp problems to consider...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.

Before running into final conclusions, I'd like to have a few more data regarding your current health problems:
- since when you're feeling burning on the left side of your face (hours? days?)
- any new medication tried (orally? locally?)
- as you are having a personal history of congestive heart failure, have you measured your blood pressure? is it within normal range?
- any personal history of any rheumatological/skin problems? any rash on the burning site?
- can you provide a picture of your face to evaluate current changes?

The burning sensation could be due to any skin problems (e.g. infections like erysipelas); possible spikes in blood pressure (bp) and/or local neurological issues. Altogether should consider to rule them out.

Thank you!
Dr.Albana
