About Burning (the broader symptom)
This summary describes Burning, the broader symptom. Diffuse Burning is a more specific topic.
Burning is an ambiguous word, and it is not one symptom across the skin, a nerve, and the digestive tract. The MedlinePlus page used here is the numbness and tingling article, which describes those as abnormal sensations that are often felt in the fingers, hands, feet, arms, or legs. A burning feeling on the skin, along a nerve, or in the chest or stomach should be read on the more specific pages linked here.

When to seek care
For numbness or tingling, MedlinePlus says to go to a hospital or call 911 if it comes with weakness or an inability to move, follows a head, neck, or back injury, or comes with loss of bladder or bowel control, confusion, slurred speech, a change in vision, or trouble walking. Contact a provider if the numbness or tingling has no obvious cause, such as a hand or foot falling asleep.
