I've got the "burn"

I remember someone here posting about this but I can't find the post - my stomach is all red and feels rug burnt. its not necessarily in areas where incisions are, mostly 'open skin' places and ugh its driving me nuts.

Those of you that had this - what helped?

I am pretty sure it was "Aunt Dee Dee" who had this experience.  It's nerve pain, but I can't remember what the treatment was.  I am sure that if you keep scrolling through the old posts you will find that thread. Hope you feel better soon!

Alice (Luv2Scrap) also had this.  I can't remember what they did for it exactly, but it's nerve damage.  It healed fairly quickly for her as i recall. Waiting to hear from Alice or Wendy... Take care. Ellen

I found the post like 30 pages in (took a while lol). I don't think mine is exactly the same. Its definitely more of a rash burn than a nerve burn, it seriously felt like a horrible rug burn... HOWEVER I did finally realize that it started after I took a shower this morning so I had a few possibilities - the fabric softner on the shirt I was wearing, the shirt I put on after the shower, or the soap I used. I "rewashed" and put on a different shirt that I dryed without the drier sheet and took a benadryl - voila! much better. Mind you - I didn't have allergies to any of those things before so the skin there is prolly just super sensitive at the moment.

yeah, I had it bad.  Felt like I had a terrible sunburn and it itched really bad too. Actually the itching came first and then the burning feeling.  My docs said take liquid benedryl for the itching.  There wasn't much to help with the  burning except time.  it went away after about 4-5 days but those were some LONG days.  it hurt just to get up out of a chair or the bed.  Hang in there, it will get better.  Alice

Lexi, This is a little after the fact, but I'll add the link to my "experience" here in case it helps somebody else down the road. THIS IS THE POST about my burning!  Thank God that's behind me. I hope your burning has subsided!
