What Causes Numbness On The Skin?

so, I can t feel my skin, and everything that I can feel has a small but very distracting delay. I could be dehydrated, or it could be because I have quit smoking. Either way, it has become a distraction at work, and I would like to know what I can do.

hi
not feeling of skin is a broad symptom.

diagnosis can be made only by examining for which type of sensation are not feeling like -touch(fine and crude both),pain, pressure sensation or temperature(for both hot and cold)sensation .
examination gives clue for diagnosis -- say for example if the person is having lost temperature sensation most than any other sensation with thicken nreves gives clue about leprosy.
