Strange Skin Sensations

What Causes Strange Skin Sensations?

Strange skin sensations can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'minor' to 'serious'.  Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.

Diagnose your symptoms now!
  • check your overall health status
  • learn what you should be doing right now
  • identify any nutritional deficiencies

Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms.  In order to diagnose strange skin sensations, we could:

  • Research the topic
  • Find a doctor with the time
  • Use a diagnostic computer system.
The process is the same, whichever method is used.

Step 1: List all Possible Causes

We begin by identifying the disease conditions which have "strange skin sensations" as a symptom.  Here are three possibilities:
  • Epstein-Barr Virus
  • Aspartame/Neotame Side-Effects
  • Neuritis/Neuropathy

Step 2: Build a Symptom Checklist

We then identify all possible symptoms and risk factors of each possible cause, and check the ones that apply:
frequent bowel movement changes
minor joint pain/swelling/stiffness
joint pain/swelling/stiffness
occasional unexplained nausea
frequent unexplained fevers
recent onset vomiting
frequent confusion/disorientation
having trouble concentrating
severe facial burning/tingling
inability to tell hot from cold
regular rashes
recent onset nausea
... and more than 40 others

Step 3: Rule Out or Confirm each Possible Cause

A differential diagnosis of your symptoms and risk factors finds the likely cause of strange skin sensations:
Cause Probability Status
Neuritis/Neuropathy 99% Confirm
Aspartame/Neotame Side-Effects 19% Unlikely
Epstein-Barr Virus 0% Ruled out
* This is a simple example to illustrate the process
