What Causes Strange Feeling Such As Dry Skin Inside Paims?

I have this strange feeling such as dry skin inside my palms and especially on the skin attached with nails. The sensation like goosebumps and chilling across the spine is high after contact with dust .What would be the causes? is there any remedy for the same? I am 25+ and never had this feeling earlier.

Hi.
As per your case-history you are having xerosis of skin and probably altered sensations due to vitamin b12 deficiency.
My treatment advice-
1. Take food rich in vitamin b12 like milk,honey,green leafy vegetables,fish and meat (if non-vegetarian).
2. Take a vitamin b12 tablet 1500mcg daily once.
3. Apply an emolient cream like Enmoist (containing liquid paraffin and white soft paraffin) on dry parts.

Thanks.
