Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

The tingling sensation in your hands and feet is most likely to be due to vitamin b- complex deficiency. The nerve involvement is due to compression or injury is manifested in one particular segment only.

You can try vitamin B12 supplements and methylcobalamin supplements for 7-10 days and if your problem persists then it needs a careful assessment by a neurologist.

Itching in nose, armpit and anus can be due to threadworm infestation and a stool examination for ova, cysts and parasite will help in diagnosis.

None of your present problems seem to be a result of UTI you had few days ago.

I hope my answer and recommendations are adequate and helpful. Waiting for your further follow ups.

Regards.

Hello,

Thanks for writing back.

Staphylococcal skin infection causes boils on the skin or nodules which later on turns into pus in the center. Itching is not the main manifestation. Other possibilities can be fungal infection or due to friction by clothing. Try a local antifungal ointment and see if relieves your symptoms.

Sincerely hope it will help.

Wishing you an early recovery.

Hello.

Thanks again.

The tingling sensation you are feeling at multiple sites means it is a generalised problem, may be some kind of deficiency.

You can get an opinion of a neurologist.

These sensations are least likely to be due to staphylococcal infection that you had.

The question of HIV does not arise unless there is an exposure.

There is definitely head rush as you said.

Do not worry.

Try taking Multivitamins for a short term period.

Hope this helps you.

Regards.
