What Causes Burning Sensation On The Back Of The Hand After Chemo Therapy?

Burning sensation in back of left hand left ring finger back to wrist. Normally a very healthy person but went through treatment for Breast Cancer 14 months ago so I hate to just write it off as nothing. Only side effect from chemo that is still present is numbness to bottom of left foot, did not have any nerve symptoms in hands while on chemo.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

These are usual side effects of chemotherapy as most chemo drug causes nerve damage also. Only supportive treatment we can offer.
