Hi,
The stinging pain after acupuncture may be due to secondary infection. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. And why don't you consult the expert neurologist for the neuropathy?
Ask your family doctor for the neurologist. Take pain killer for the pain and antibiotic for the infection, if needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
