What Causes Icy Hot Sensations On Torso?

I am getting icy hot sensations on my torso. IT moves around but never goes below the waist. Been doing this for 90 days or so . I thought it was an allergic reaction to soap or shampoo or something. Changes everything i could think of. Read on internet could be beginning signs of MS. Are there other signs? Anyway it s a bit annoying but not overly interferring with business as usual. Could it be nerve related possible. Had a bulged disc in neck a few years ago that caused pain down arm but that subsided with therapy and has not come back yet. Possibly related? Thank you

Hello,

The hot sensation is a type of neurological pain. An injured or compressed nerve cannot send a normal signal, so the body may interpret the sensation as heat.

A ct scan is needed to confirm the diagnosis and take proper treatment. Meanwhile,I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
