What Causes Pins And Needles Sensation On Upper Back And Torso?

Hello, I m a 14 yr old African American boy who for the past week has been experiencing pins and needles sensation on my Lower and upper back and my torso. These symptoms usually occurs when I m in the sun or I get excited or I try to exercise, and I ve noticed that I feel warmer than usual but my legs get really cold when I m in a cold place. This happened to me last summer also and really ruined it for me as I couldn t enjoy it at all, and when I went to see a doctor they said it might be a lack of vitamins, and I got medications which stopped it for the rest of the year but now it summer again and it s and i don t know what to do. Help me please

Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you may be having sun allergy as your history suggest. You can take cetrizine to get relief from it temporary. Avoid sun and heat exposure. Vitamin supplementation may be of use. You are advised to consult dermatologist for it.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
