Parathesia

Parathesia is a medical term for a group of symptoms that involve abnormal skin sensations. It is described as an abnormal sensation such as prickling, tingling, itching, burning, or numbness. It can be localized to one particular area of the body or it can be felt all over. Parathesia is usually a symptom of an underlying medical condition, such as a pinched nerve or a neuropathy, and it can be short-term or long-term. In some cases, it is the result of a medication side effect or an allergic reaction. Treatment for parathesia depends on the underlying cause and can involve medications, physical therapy, or lifestyle modifications.
