A burning sensation across the face can be caused by skin irritation, nerve problems, allergies, or other medical conditions. It’s important to identify the cause to find relief.
A burning feeling in the face may come from several different sources:
Skin irritation or allergies: Reactions to skincare products, sunburn, or exposure to irritants can cause burning sensations. Nerve-related issues: Conditions like trigeminal neuralgia or neuropathy can cause burning or tingling sensations. Infections or inflammation: Shingles or other skin infections can cause burning and discomfort. Medical conditions: Some conditions, like rosacea or migraine, may involve facial burning sensations. Environmental factors: Extreme heat, cold, or wind can irritate the skin and cause burning. If the burning sensation is severe, persistent, or accompanied by rash, swelling, fever, or other symptoms, it’s important to see a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
