What Causes Occasional Temporary And Painful Skin Sensitivity In The Body?
Question: I get occasional skin sensitivity that lasts several days and then goes away. It can be in any spot on my body. I feels like nerve endings are hurting. I have the condition now on inner arm on right side but it is not going away. What can this be?
Brief Answer:
Possible peripheral neuropathy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your query and understand your concerns.
In my opinion, peripheral neuropathy, a condition characterized by peripheral nerves damage from different causes, should be considered and evaluated further as a possible cause of your symptoms.
Conditions related to peripheral neuropathy include diabetes, viral infections, low vitamins B group, alcohol use, autoimmune diseases, side effects of drugs, etc.
It is necessary to get evaluated by your primary care Doctor and to get further examinations such nerve conduction study and appropriate blood tests.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
