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
