Sensitive Skin With Aching And Cold. Due To Any Virus?
During a recent trip in Europe, my husband commented on his skin being sensitive to touch and aching...now seems like a slight cold, a few days later. I was fine but woke up this morning with my whole body sensitive to touch the skin and freezing cold all day. In retrospect, I ve felt freezing cold for about two days prior. No other symptoms. Just a virus that must go through its cycle?

Hello,
Welcome to health care magic,
You have gone on a vacation i see. Sensitive skin can be a manifestation of an early sunburn. It can also be due to extreme cold weather. As you rightly said a viral fever can have sensitive skin and chills. Some medicine allergies can also present as sensitive skin.
Hope this helped. You may apply calamine lotion to soothe your skin.
Take care.
