Could Burning Skin With Red Spots Be Due To Alcohol Withdrawal?
I stopped drinking on saturday, before that i abused alcohol quite a bit. Over the last couple of days my skin(mainly thighs, and back have felt prickly and a burning sensation. My skin will turn red in spots..then it will clear up, and show up somewhere else. Could my skin feeling the way it does be a result of alcohol withdrawal?

Hello, thank you for your contact to health care magic. If I am your doctor I suggesting you that this symptom is not alcohol withdrawal symptoms. It may be something else, I suspect it is fungal infection. But exact diagnosis requires visual examination. If you have to ask me anything you can contact me. Dr Arun Tank. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
