What Causes Burning Sensation And Redness On Chest, Elbow, Knees And Shoulder?
In the last 2 weeks I have had this symptom happen 3 times. It starts at my neck and I feel a burning sensation. It runs down to my legs and if you look at it my skin and it has turned blotchy red. At my chest, elbows, knees, shoulders the coloring is just red. It goes away in about 20 minutes. I have never had an allergic reaction to anything and am not doing anything different. It feels like my skin is on fire but there are no raise areas of the skin. I am 31 and this is the first it has ever happened. I am a teacher and have been for 8 years and am never sick...except for a cough etc. Is this maybe a symptom of a virus?

Thank you for the question. Yes, it is possible that cough due to any microbe may cause polyarthralgia,other systemic manifestations. Levocetrizine 5 mg once a day?allegra 120mg once a day shall help the cough and any assoociated allergy
