Ugh. If it's anything like the thing that my feet and legs did one year, I really feel for you!
To me, it felt like hundreds of just-burned matches were under my skin, poking their hot sulphur on me from the inside. My skin felt like it was about 200° but was cool to the touch. I hated it, it lasted about a month and just went away. (It went untreated because I was undx at the time and hadn't landed with a good doc).
I was so desperate, I stood barefoot in the snow thinking my feet would melt the entire lawn. Nada.
