My burning is always on the skin, I have different types of pain but the burn is always the skin for me. It's not pleasant at all when it's hot, which thankfully over here isn't often lol. It's very muggy today and my head hurts and I'm sweating a lot and have the itches, prickles and burn. Everything seems worse in the extremes of temperature but I'd rather be too cold any day than too hot. I found that Aloe Vera gel is very comforting/cooling in genuine heat even though it's only a temporary relief and probably won't help the deeper pain at all. It's good for sunburn too, far better than 'after sun'. I wish we could use ice.
