What Causes Tactile Hallucinations?
I have friend who is having tactile hallucinations. He feels as though there is something touching him. This has kept him awake for 2 days. He is sane otherwise and realizes that this doesn t seem logical. He swears he has not taken any drugs or alcohol? He is 26 and has been in good health otherwise. Any insight?

Hello,
Your friend should be evaluated by the Neurologist for probable peripheral neuropathy. There are a number of conditions that may cause it, so, tests may be necessary also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
