Pin prick feeling

2020-01-23 18:53:39
I feel like mosquitoes are biting me since 7 months. Mostly on legs and arms. Feels like tiny needle pokes on skin followed by itching or burning. Sometimes it's less, other times it's more. Stays full day. Vit b 12 is 423. Iron saturation is 16%. I am very worried about it. It is usually felt with some pressure in temperomandibular joint area. Why does it happen and is it serious?

The tingling happens due to many reasons I'll list a few down here 1. Vit b12 deficiencies 2. Diabetes or diabetic neuropathy 3. Peripheral neuropathy 4. Nervous system neuro pathy So please visit a nearby neurologist to get your problem checked to eventually come to a diagnosis for your condition.
