Brief Answer:
Yes, these symptoms are suggestive of peripheral neuropathy.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.
As discussed, your symptoms are suggestive of peripheral neuropathy. in this condition, the nerves located in the skin get affected. This can be due to vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroid disease and diabetes, which can be excluded by appropriate blood tests.
There is no need to worry, as it can be treated with simple medications.
