Why Is The Arm Itchy When It Starts To Burn ?
My arm is itchy but when i scratch it starts to burn and the burn goes up and down my arm. I have had this same thing in the past on my back and then once on my face. Is there somthing wrong with my nervous system? What can i do about this? It is very painfull.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to peripheral neuropathy.
The most common cause is diabetes.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms.
If the symptoms continue,I suggest to see a neurologist.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
