Hi,
Burning sensation on both calves area may be due to some cause. Have blood tests for DM,vit B12 level,HIV,anaemia, internal diseases.. It may be related with psychology. There may be anxiety neurosis or some other psychological disorder. First you consult dermatologist and then psychiatrist. Vit.b 12, pregabalin or gabapentin, fluoxetin etc may be prescribed by your doctor. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
