What Causes Burning Sensation In The Legs While Suffering From Peripheral Neuropathy?

My left leg has a couple different areas that have a kind od burning, stinging type of sensational: lower leg,like the shin area. Also two spots that feel like a bruise. But there is discoloration of the skin. I do have neuropathy in that foot, and am considering there might be a connection. The bruise sensation, however, is higher up, above the knee. Any thought?

Hi,

The redness and burning sensation may be due to cellulitis or varicose veins or peripheral neuropathy or eczema.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please get it done color Doppler of lower limb, complete blood count, blood urea and serum creatinine.

Use antihistamine or antibiotics according to the body weight. Use tablet Pregabalin. Please consult your physician, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
