Pain on head, arms, back and belly, itchy, feels like needles poking
I have been experiencing very itchy and painful feelings on my head, arms, back and belly . it kinda feels little pins are needles. I have changed my detergent but it has not decrease them. At night when lay down I feel like I am laying on burrs. Very uncomfortably. When I move I feel like I have needles being poked at me. I am beyond frustration

Dr. Rakhi Tayal, OBGYN
Hello.

Thanks for writing to us.
The itchy and painful feelings all over the body could be due to allergic dermatitis or a skin infection like fungal infection or scabies. A direct examination by a dermatologist is mandatory for proper diagnosis. The management will depend on the cause.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

Regards,

Dr. Rakhi Tayal
