What Causes Prickly Sensation On The Skin?
I get a prickly feeling on my skin (chest and back). It lasts only a few minutes then subsides. Occurs about 2 - 3 times a day. Started about 2 weeks ago. Most of the time it is when I am walking outside, but occasionally it occurs when I am sitting in my house. Only lasts a few minutes.
