Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
It can be due to parasthesia skin which is due to dysfunctioning of neurons. Parasthesias are common in alcohol intake in alcoholics. It can also be due to diabetes, hypothyroidism, peripheral vascular disease, multiple sclerosis, neurological causes or malnutrition.
Get your blood sugar and thyroid hormones levels evaluated. You can take some vit B12 supplements for some days and see if the symptoms improve. If the symptoms persist then get the above mentioned possibilities ruled out from a neurologist.
Hope this answers your query. 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.
Wishing you good health.
