searching for hints about a skin sensation

[tanyev]

3. Dunno. I have an area on my back that feels like a topical itch but is actually caused by nerve irritation.

The dermatologist called it notalgia paresthetica. I wouldn’t describe it as a burning sensation, although the itch sensation can get pretty intense if I skip my daily time on the acupressure mat.

Your situation sounds worse than mine, though. Hope you find some relief.

ETA: I just saw that some descriptions of NP do list burning as one of the symptoms. However, mine is a fairly small spot nearly in the middle of my upper back. Sounds like yours is more widespread.
