Brief Answer:
It seems to be allergic reaction.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Thank you for the query.

If the skin burning has appeared after you started Prilosec, we can assume that this is an allergic reaction to this medicine. If so, the best you can do is to switch it to other PPI like Pantoprazole or Esomeprazole.
You may also start Loratodine intake which is antiallergic medicine and should help as well.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
