HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The burning sensation may or may not be related.
Burning skin sensations are usually related to abnormal nerve structure and function.
This is called peripheral neuropathy.
There are a number of other different possible causes including vitamin b 12 or folate deficiency, diabetes, trauma, ,liver disease, kidney disease.
It would be best to see your doctor about this and any other symptoms that you are experiencing so the cause can be determined.
I hope this helps
