Hi dear concerned parent,
Your son's sensitivity to touch warrants professional evaluation.
A pediatric neurologist or occupational therapist specializing in sensory integration can determine the cause, which may include sensory processing differences, neurological factors, or anxiety.
Health Tips
Exploring gentle desensitization techniques, deep-pressure activities, and a sensory diet may offer some relief. Accurate diagnosis is key to developing an effective management plan.

Thanks for reaching out. Your son will have to consult a psychologist. More information is needed to determine what is causing your son to feel sensitive to touch. I understand you are worried about your son. Create a calming atmosphere at home and tell your son you are there for him if he wants to talk about anything.

Hi,
Sensitivity to touch, also known as tactile hypersensitivity, can stem from a variety of causes, including sensory processing issues, anxiety, or conditions like fibromyalgia or neuropathy. It can occur in children due to developmental factors or may be related to experiences of stress or trauma. It's essential to observe other accompanying symptoms, such as changes in mood, behavior, or sensory responses. To help your son, consider creating a supportive environment that minimizes overwhelming sensations and triggers. Gradually introduce him to different textures and sensations in a controlled manner, allowing him to adjust at his own pace. Occupational therapy can be particularly beneficial, as therapists can provide tailored strategies and activities to improve sensory processing and reduce discomfort. Additionally, maintaining open communication with your son can help him express his feelings and experiences, which is crucial for emotional support. If the sensitivity persists or worsens, itâs advisable to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and to explore specific underlying causes.
