- Neuropathy can cause burning but, if brought on by a medicine all of the sudden, you need immediate medical care.
Allergy is what comes to mind. Nothing should be burning your skin. You may have to switch.
Of course, the term could have a wide range. Burning, like a warm irritation (that could be herx)? Or really prickly and painful burning? (Well, that could still be herx or allergy but you need medical advice right away.)
Let your doctor know immediately or go to Urgent Care or E. R. if serious. If burning is a result of an allergy, severe breathing problems could also develop or - shock.
Look up the manufacturer's website (not just any web link you get) and read about the side-effects and cautions of the drug in question.
Then, after reading the official web site, I would then do a cross search at Google and PubMed to see if there are other reports of this - if so and "after market" - they would not likely make it to the manufacturer's web site.
But, most important: talk to your doctor.
Skin reactions can be due to too much liver stress, too. You might need to reassess your liver support.
But an allergic reaction is different.
Also of note, for patients with particular kinds of porphyria, certain drugs can cause skin reactions. These are drugs that use the Cytochrome P-450 liver detox pathway. Not all kinds of porphyria cause skin reactions, tough. More about that:

- Oh . . . man . . . I would save myself so much trouble by reading the entire post. Right there, 2nd line, it states:
" . . . no worries dont have this just cant remember the name "
Well, I'm still just waking up out here.
Glad to hear this is a rhetorical question. Now you have more info. than you needed right now but it may come in handy in the future. -

You are supposed to stay out of the sun if on Doxy or Tetracyline also. It can burn you if exposed.

It would appear that Lyme patients are more likely to get SJS or TENS by the fact it can occur in certain infections that are common to Lyme. It can be caused by infections (usually following infections such as herpes simplex virus, influenza, mumps, cat-scratch fever, histoplasmosis, Epstein-Barr virus, mycoplasma pneumoniae or similar),
SJS has also been consistently reported as an uncommon side effect of herbal supplements containing ginseng.
SJS may also be caused by cocaine usage.[8]
Although Stevens-Johnson Syndrome can be caused by viral infections, malignancies or severe allergic reactions to medication,
the leading cause appears to be the use of antibiotics and sulfa drugs. Medications that have traditionally been known to lead to SJS, erythema multiforme and toxic epidermal necrolysis
include sulfonamides (antibiotics), penicillins (antibiotics), barbiturates (sedatives), lamotrigine and phenytoin (e.g. Dilantin) (anticonvulsants).
Combining lamotrigine with sodium valproate increases the risk of SJS.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are a rare cause of SJS in adults; the risk is higher for older patients, women and those initiating treatment.[1]
Typically, the symptoms of drug-induced SJS arise within a week of starting the medication.
People with systemic lupus erythematosus or HIV infections are more susceptible to drug-induced SJS.[2]
