The NEW sign is intense skin burning sensation even through my jeans and when I roll them up the skin is turning RED, As if I've been out all day and getting sunburned. The red skin and burning will stop in about 10 minutes inside the house. The skin is bright red even under the clothes.
Has anyone else had this symptom? I understand the burning to be a normal part of PN but i only feel burning while in the sun and the red skin is from the sun. What is that about?
I have had extensive testing for PN which ruled out the most awful diagnosis but as I'm know most of you understand i cannot let it rest at unknown because it is wrecking my life so i can't quit trying to get better.
Thanks in advance

I had a nasty photosensitivity reaction. My legs and arms were covered with bright red spots, millions of them. It turned out the culprit was simvistatin(Zocor) I think. My dermatologist diagnosed all of it. It didn't happen in a minute, but it was pretty intense, FWIW.
