What is this stinging sensation on the surface of my skin?

Do you have any other medical problems, or are you taking any medications?  I have fibromyalgia and get the same stinging, burning in my skin when I have flair ups.  Also my doctor had me on Vicodin for chronic pain and I had to switch to another pain killer because it was making the burning worst.

the reason our skin itch sometimes is due to the effect of our own body immune system against antigen (foreign body not recognize by our immune system). \nWhen antigen enters our body through skin, it is detected by Langerhans cells beneath our skin and triggers our immune system to release histamine to eradicate the antigen, and the histamine secretion is the reason why our skin feel itch sometime.

Actually, the sensation of itching is nothing more than energy being transferred through that area of your body. Two things were happening while you were jogging.\n\n1.Your feet and legs were absorbing impact energy from the act of running. This is no different from hitting the palm of your hand against the table top over and over again. The atoms in your hand swell from the absorbed energy and then once you stop hitting the table, slowly release that energy in an attempt to get back to their normal existing ground state. the transferring or processing of that absorbed energy will feel like itching which is really just a lesser degree of pain.\n\n2.Your legs were also releasing stored energy throughout your leg muscles during your run, adding to the absorbed energy from running. \n\nThis is also why a sunburn will itch like crazy, absorbed solar energy is finding a way out of your body.\n\nAs your body cools down the itching may get worse, because cooling will close your pores, trapping the heat.\n\nHope this helps

Not only does it mean irritation, sore and redness on your skin due to rubbing, it can also mean teasing someone but in a more natural way.

it could be an allergic reaction but it could also be some sort of infection...ask a doctor

It sounds like it could be hemorrhoids, although it could be something very different.  It would be quite beneficial to visit a doctor.  \n\nThe feelings may be slightly improved by using a sitz bath, (sitting in warm water.)  if you don't have access to warm water, try warming some up on a stove or a microwave -- but be careful it's not too hot!  That should give you a soothing feeling.\n\nBut please.. do visit a doctor, because you can never be certain what is going on until it is examined.\n\nBest of luck!!

That's Keratosis pilaris, a skin condition commonly seen on the upper arms, buttocks and thighs. The skin cells that normally flake off as a fine dust from the skin form plugs in the hair follicles. These appear as small pimples that have a dry ''sandpaper'' feeling. They are usually white but sometimes rather red. They usually don't itch or hurt.

You could have a pinched nerve in your back causing this problem. The itching can be a side effect. Stop itching and use anti-itch cream like lanacane if you have to. The red marks are from you scratching so hard, you can't feel how hard your scratching and are breaking blood vessels under the skin. I recommend you go see a doctor.

Sounds like a neck problem or a TOS (thoracic outlet syndrome).  In other words, the nerves and blood vessels to your hands come out of your neck, run through your arm pit and down your arms.  Either bad posture or some type of physiological problem is pinching the nerves and/or blood vessels causing a numbing/burning sensation.  It probably feels close to like if your hand falls asleep.  I would recommend getting an examination from a Chiropractor.  Find one that not only adjusts but works with physical therapy to address muscular problems as well.  You should see someone as soon as possible about this becuase it will likely get worse and could lead to or further existing arthritis or disc problems in your neck.  Of course, it could always be something more serious so check with a healthcare professional (I definately recommend Chiropractic, and yes, I am biased but I know I am right too...)

Well...it does sound like an allergic reaction of some type.\n\nDid you recently change fabric softener on your towels recently?  Did you buy new towels or washcloths?  Are you using a new cream or lotion on your face after you get out of the shower?\n\nIt could also be that you're using water that is too hot, so it makes skin more sensitive to the stuff above.  Try cooling the water off, not using fabric softener, not using face cream, and use your older towels and washcloths.  \n\nTry the above one at a time and see if one of these eliminates the problem.  Then stop doing whatever it is.\n\nHope I helped...

See a doctor. You will want to rule out anything serious. It could be a clogged sweat gland, an inflamed lymph node or even a tumor (not necessarily a bad one).

that happens to me as well, but with ice cream, it's a reaction to sugar, the sugar gets into the blood stream, blood get's thicker and thats the itchy sensation..but i dont know how old are you but if i was you, i will be taking less sugar and more water, at least reduce 1/2% of whatever sugar you are eating or drinking

If this is in your right leg, kind of toward the outside and wraps around to the ankle, especially in the upper leg.\n\n   I would guess it's a pinched nerve from your back. Have you done anything lately, pulled something heavy, lifted something real heavy. You did something over the last couple of days to have this happen.\n\n   Your toes or feet might start burning. I think you'd better see a doctor now before it gets out of control, you'll have pain you won't forget, you'll have to have something for it.

if its round and movable under the skin, its most likely a lipoma, which is harmless and common.  it might hurt because you've been touching it and rubbing it a lot, or it may be something worse.  definitely get it checked out, if anything, to ease your mind.  Best of luck!

most likely its  a blood vessel breaking in your neck causing a flow of blood to the region... tingling. Or its a pinched nerve.

When cold air hits your face or other exposed skin it can feel as if it is biting or nipping at you.\nNipply on the other hand is something quite different. :)
