HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Burning or abnormal sensations in the body are usually related to the nerves. This is called peripheral neuropathy and this occurs due to abnormal structure or function of the nerves.

There are different possible causes such as: (1)diabetes
(2)trauma
(3)vitamin b12 or folate def
(4)liver or kidney disease
(5)side effect of medication
(6)infections
(7)some hormonal or autoimmune disease
(8)idiopathic-cause is not known

Blood tests can check vitamin levels, screen for diabetes as well as hormonal and autoimmune diseases. Blood tests can also check for liver and kidney disease

There are medications that can help with nerve related discomfort/sensations.

I hope this helps
