What Causes Unusual Skin Sensation On Arms And Legs?

Hello, I have a skin sensation on both arms from wrist to elbow; it is also on both legs from mid thighs too ankles. It is only on the front side of my arms and legs. Also, it is on my face mostly around my mouth. It does not hurt, itch or bother me at all. I can feel it when I m dressing or undressing. It is a feeling like pulling a hair across the areas.

Hello,

The skin sensation you feel when dressing and undressing like pulling a hair across the areas is due to electrization of the clothes while rubbing against the skin when you start dressing or undressing.
This electrifying clothes can cause also electrification of the skin hair causing you to get this skin sensation.

That won't be a problem. It's related to detergents you use when washing your clothes, the static components, etc.

Just, wet your hands, apply to your clothes, and see if this will make a change.

All the best.
