Okay, weird question! I know that I haven't lost a whole lot of weight or anything, but yesterday my back and stomach skin felt like it was red and burning, but, it looks normal. It's not actually red at all, and there is no sign of an injury or anything. I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen. It's not something I can't live with, and it's not horribly uncomfortable, but it's odd and I'm curious. I tried Google, but didn't run across anything right away. Thanks for your time!!

    If I've learned anything from googling my symptoms, it's never to google my symptoms as It near always ends with either death or amputation.

    I'm taking One A Day women's, which has B12, but only 100% value. Hum, maybe that's it.

    Haha I know right? But for some reason I can't help it. Last week I was suffering from a heart attack. (according to Google!) I am doing just fine really, so I'm pretty sure I didn't!

    I had a similar sensation by my stretch marks. I used a lotion with vitamin E and it helped.

    Okay it has Niacin, but only 10g. I thought you meant B12 at first. Either way, maybe it's them. I have been taking them for about 2 weeks now though. Thanks for the input!

    Hi, I know the feeling that you are talking about. Not in the same place but usually in the moring when I wake up my skin hurts like that. Mostly on my arms. Mine is due to hypoglycimea. It's like a tingly numbness or burning sensation. Almost feels like a sun burn. Hope you feel better soon. Sorry I don't have any answers for you, I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone with the odd burning skin thing.

    If it feels like sunburn,but you cant see anything it may be the start of shingles...
