| I get this thing sometimes where my skin just has these sensations like a quick pinprick stinging sensation, like it will hit one area for half a second and then I feel it in another area for a second. Just all over and it is a bit different then an itch, although it can sometimes turn into an itch. Twice that I remember recently it happened after I showered and put these jeans on. I thought maybe it was the jeans, so I took them off rinsed off again and changed into new clothes and it went away. Then again I felt it, wondered if it was the jeans I put on, didn't rinse off again this time, just put on new jeans, and still felt it. So, I wonder if the cause maybe instead of reacting to something in the fabric, just because of dry skin. Can dry skin cause this? I asked my husband and he said he's never felt anything like that. My skin is very dry and I need to get in a habit of moisturizing my whole body, and drinking more water. |

That's a good place to start. Also, in winter, it's tempting to shower in water that's too hot. That can, at least for me, make skin feel more sensitive and dryer. |

My skin gets a lot drier and more sensitive during the winter. These two things sort of go hand-in-hand. I think random prickly sensations might just be your newly sensitive skin reacting to fabric textures and chemicals (like fabric softener). My skin is a lot less prickly and itchy and prone to irritation when it's hydrated and well-moisturized.
The best thing is to try increasing your water intake and use a heavier moisturizer (like a body oil) right after you shower when your skin is still damp. |

| I definitely think it's the dry skin that causes the problem. If you put on oil or lotion after a shower and massage it in well, it should lessen the sensation. |

Try not to use foaming cleansers as they are particularly harsh and drying.
And I've found that taking flax seed oil supplements helps a lot too. I'm not as itchy this winter. You might want to give it a try |
