What Causes Burning Sensation Of Skin All Over Body?

My husband has been experiencing a sunburn sensation. First it started on his neck and face, now 1 week later also on arms, chest, legs and back. Says he feels like his skin is burning. What causes these feelings, and why did this start just all of a sudden.

As you have mentioned in your history it is clear that you are suffering from some sort of phototoxicity or sunburn. For this you have to take some antibiotic preferably cap doxycycline 100 mg twice daily after meals for at least 5 days along with tab combiflam or tab ibugesic-plus for pain and burning sensation with tab levocetrizine twice daily after meals if itching is present with tab rantac or cap omez twice daily empty stomach one hour before any meal. In addition, you have to use clobit-gm cream or valnerate-c cream for local application. Last but not the least, apply vaselline or coconut oil as it is beneficial in reducing the severity of burning and itching.
