Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
As your burning and stinging sensation is only short lived and infrequent, I think there is no serious underlying pathology. It could possibly due a cutaneous nerve irritation or compression which should resolve on its own.
Use of neurotropic medicines like Methylcobalamine or Pregabalin may help in alleviating your symptoms.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
