What Causes Burning,pins And Needles Sensation In Mouth?

Hello. I am 32 year old female in decent health. For the past couple of weeks I have had a strange feeling in my throat and mouth. I thought at first it might be a food allergy, but I cannot link it to anything in particular. It comes and goes with no reasoning. It is a mix of burning, scratching, and mild pins and needles... It is very hard to explain. It is not painful, just uncomfortable.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The burning,pins and needles sensation in mouth can be because of the erosive lichen planus or ulcerative lichen planus or burning mouth syndrome. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it completely examined.
If it is a lichen planus or burning mouth syndrome you can use symptomatic treatment like topical anesthetic and analgesics like 2%lignocaine and choline salicylate gel (anabel gel) apply 3-4 times daily before food and topical steroid like triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% 4-5times daily after food.
If the lesions does not heal in 15 days, then get a biopsy done to confirm the diagnosis.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
