Hello,
I have the same problem after a CT head scan without contrast. The burning sensation appeared during the CT which was about 3 weeks ago and I still feel it. I also got two circles on my forehead one week after the CT, where I felt the burning sensation the most. I spoke to my doctors but they don't see any connection. The parameters of the CT where DAP: 1068,5 and CTDivol 57,5. Has someone found a solution? Please let me know here.

Hello.
CT scans use X-rays to create detailed images of the internal structures of your body. While they are generally considered safe and widely used in medical settings, some people may experience side effects or reactions to the contrast dye or radiation exposure.
The burning sensation and skin changes you are experiencing might be due to various factors, such as an allergic reaction to the contrast dye or radiation-related skin irritation. However, it's crucial to have a comprehensive evaluation by a medical professional to determine the exact cause of your symptoms.
If your doctors don't see any apparent connection to the CT scan, you might consider seeking a second opinion or consulting with a specialist, such as a dermatologist or a radiologist, who can provide more expertise in this area.
In the meantime, you can try to manage your discomfort by avoiding any potential irritants on your skin and keeping the area clean and moisturized.

Hi. I am experiencing the same thing after multiple CT scans while in a hospital. I did not have any of these symptoms at admittance. They are severe now and i know for a fact that the last ct scan with contrast was the one that intensified the burning. As soon as the contrast was injected into my IV my face and upper torso began to burn and that exact feeling has not subsided.
